THIS is one of the earliest spring vegetables, and sliouW be in universal use. Many persons think it is difficult to grow, but we consider .this a 

 mistake and believe it can be produced as cheaply and easily as any on the list. Sow the seed in the seed bed late in the fall or in the pearly 

 spring as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills one foot apart, covering the seed about one inch deep. When the plants are four to 

 five inches high, great care should be taken to keep the bed free of weeds. One ounce of seed will sow forty feet of row. Thin to nine 

 inches in the row.;

— ' • to the mar- 



velous advantage of its white color, the Columbian Mammoth White 

 Asparagus is even more robust and vigorous in habit and throws 



larger shootSj and fully 

 as many of them, as the 

 Conover's Colossal. When 

 we add to these the im- 

 mense advantage of its 

 needing no earthing up 

 in order to furnish the 

 white shoots so much 

 sought after, we think it 

 evident that it is superior 

 to any sort now in culti- 

 vation, and that no aspar- 

 agus grower can afford 

 to plant seed of any other 

 kind. Market gardeners, 

 growfers for canners and 

 amateurs should give this 

 great acquisition a tho- 

 rough trial.

BARR'S MAMMOTH.- 



This splendid variety, 

 highly recommended 

 for its many good qual- 

 ities, is very productive 

 and about ten days ear- 

 lier than Conover's Col- 

 ossal. The stalks are 

 very large and retain 

 their thickness com- 

 pletely up to the top of 

 the shoots ; very tender 

 and succulent; of deli-

I This is a very nice vegetable to eat. Some prefer it cooked like 

 asparagus, that is, take the flower head before it begins to open and 

 cook much the same way as asparagus. The tubers roasted, or boiled 

 served with butter, salt and pepper, makes a dish some think superior 

 to potatoes. They are most excellent feed for cows and will cause an 

 increase in quantity and quality of milk.

rflLHETTO flSFflRflQUS. -This Asparagus, said 



to have originated in South Car- 

 olina, is now quite extensively 

 grown by Southern gardeners for 

 New York and Philadelphia mar- 

 kets, where it sells at very high pri- 

 ces, owing to its mammoth size and 

 regularity. An average bunch of 

 flf teen shoots will measure thirteen 

 to fourteen Inches in circumfer- 

 ence. For several seasons this as- 

 paragus has reached Northern mar- 

 kets ten days ahead of all other va- 

 rieties, and sold at fabulous prices.
