Washington Asparagus 



This exceedingly resistant variety was developed by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. It is the finest of the large type asparagus. 

 Its quick growing habit makes it extremely tender. It is vigorous in 

 growth, of a deep green color, with a purple tinge, a decidedly good 

 variety for the commercial grower and unexcelled for the home garden. 

 The flavor is excellent, having a peculiar and pleasing sweetness. You 

 should give this variety a trial, either by planting the seed or the roots.

Collections 



For the benefit of those who have small plots of land and would like to 

 raise vegetables in a small way, we have made several collections which we 

 believe will give an excellent assortment and which will enable them to make 

 the greatest use of their available space. These collections can be found on page 

 29 and will be of great help to those who have a small garden, but who are 

 doubtful as to just what choice to make. 



For the benefit of those who wish to specialize on certain vegetables we have 

 inserted throughout our specialties pages small collections which we can highly

Washington Asparagus 



Bolgiano's Early 

 Bonfire Beet 



This is an entirely distinct variety. The bulbs develop in a re- 

 markably short time, and can be used or sold when very young. 

 Absolutely perfect in shape, almost round and of good size, with a 

 very slim tap root. The leaves are green with dark crimson ribs. 

 Bonfire Beet holds its unusually deep rich crimson color when 

 cooked, making it very valuable for canning and pickling, and 

 simply perfect for table use. Bonfire Beet is fine grained, tender 

 and sweet, is never woody, or stringy. You will always plant this 

 beet after you have once given it a trial. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 15c. ^ Lb.

Bolgiano's Early Spring Beet 



Bolgiano's Early Spring Beet 



Bolgiano's Early Spring Beet, introduced by us in 1916, has 

 proven to be one of the best and earliest beets yet offered the market 

 gardener. Wherever it has been used, it has brought forth unstinted 

 praise and recommendations. It is the first beet to be brought to 

 market, always bringing the highest prices. It is perfect in shape, 

 of the globe type, with small tap roots and small tops. The flesh is 

 a deep red, fine grained, and exceptionally tender and sweet. It 

 may be sown under glass, or in the open field, and will mature much 

 earlier than other early varieties. We are constantly reselecting and 

 improving our stock, and we believe we are offering you the earliest 

 and best beet on the market today in Bolgiano's Early Spring. If 

 you have never tried this beet, you should do so this Spring. Pkt. 10c.
