Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus 



Larger, Earlier, More Uniform in Size, More Prolific and Disease- 

 Resisting than any Other Asparagus Grown 



Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are obtained in well-enriebed 

 deeply dug, sandy loam. A well cared for bed improves with age, and lasts ior many years 

 It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots. 



The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so that the roots cannot safely be dug 

 until about November 1st. By this time the soil is so cool that the plants do not root readily, 

 consequently many are winter killed. For this reason, we advise only spring planting for any 

 point north of Washington, D. C. 



Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus is superior to all others. We have grown 



V/v £^ ^t&Jfit* and thoroughly tested < vi vy I nown variety of Asparagus, but — in the Ameri- 



\ can climate at least — Henderson's Palmetto is the king of all Asparagus. 



v^k It is superior in every way, larger, earlier, quicker in growth, more continuous 



3 in bearing and more uniform in size. The stalks average about an inch in 



B» diameter, the usual bunch of 15 shoots is 13 ' 2 inches in circumference, and 



V 1 weighs about 2 pounds. It is delicious in flavor, extremely tender, and 



equally well adapted to all sections of the country. It is also 



Nt, . -»^fi« ^ ess susceptible to disease, having yielded abundant crops where 



B ff?kjf\ au other varities have entirely failed. (See engraving.)
