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-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. A well cared 

 ■*iJy ''Bl for bed improves with age, and lasts for many years. It may be 

 f/i *'^ 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 



jsj|-'. grown and thoroughly tested every known variety of Asparagus, 



^^'' but — in the American climate at least— Henderson's Palmetto is the 



king of all Asparagus. It is superior in every way, larger, earlier, quicker 



in growth, more continuous in bearing and more uniform in size. The 



y stalks average about an inch in diameter, the usual bunch of 15 shoots is 



131,^ inches in circumference, and weighs about 2 pounds. It is delicious 



in flavor, extremely tender, and equally well adapted to all sections of the 



country. It is also less susceptible to disease, having yielded abundant 



crops where all other varieties have entirely succumbed. (See engraving.)

"I wish you could see my two Palmetto Asparagus beds grown from seed sent from 

 your establishment ten years ago. They are the wonder and admiration of all my 

 acquaintances. The Asparagus is so large and fine and of fine flavor." 

 Julyi, 1915. Mrs. L YDIA EDGERTON PUTNAM, 415 Fifth St.. Marietta.O.

Dalkeith Brussels Sprouts 



A very excellent selection of this estimable vegetable, far too little known to 

 American gardeners. Sown in June in the latitude of New York, it produces an 

 abundant crop of Sprouts — solid, succulent and delicious — in the fall and early 

 ■winter. It is hardier than Cabbage, just as easily grown, and available long 

 after all other green vegetables are gone. Cultural directions are given in Cabbage 

 Leaflet, sent free if asked for when ordering. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 30c. oz., 90c. a lb., $3.00 lb. 



"1 have been getting seeds from you since 1896 and they have always given me the greatest 

 satisfaction. I wish particularly to speak of the most delicious Brussels Sprouts from your 

 Dalkeith seed." JOSEPH EMRY , St. Kills, B. W.'l.
