HENDERSON’S. 
Palmetto Asparagus Seed 
205 WHenderson’s Palmetto Asparagus is superior to all others. We have ¢’own 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 stalks average about an inch in diameter, the usual bunch of 15 shoots is 13 
“inches in circumference, and weighs about 2 pounds. It is delicious in flavor, poeiar ie 
_ 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 entirély failed.

Giant 
‘Washington Asparagus Seed 
Large, Early, Productive, Rustless 
207. Some varieties of Asparagus seem to be afflicted with rust, but Giant Washington 
Asparagus—developed under the auspices of the United States Agricultural Department— 
is declared to be peculiarly immune from this disease. The shoots are of giant size, very 
vigorous, straight, and what is still more important, of extra good quality. Dark green 
tinged with purple. Undoubtedly a great acquisition. (See engraving.)
