PALMETTO ASPARAGUS 



LAFkGER, EARLIER, MORE UNIFORM IN SIZE, MORE PROLIFIC AND 

 DISEASE-RESISTING THAN ANY OTHEK 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 for bed improves with age, and lasts for 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 rcot 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 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 \V/v 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 cut.)

"I wish to lake this opportunity to express my appreciation of the results ob- 

 tained from Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus. The first roots from you are 

 ■now being cut for the second season, and 1 can say that 1 have received the 

 largest and finest in this whole section, as can be attested by one of our foremost 

 hucksters in this market, J. A. Slaughter. Most all stalks cut weigh from 3 

 to 6 oz. each and I must say that the strain is better than you claim. J hope 

 to be able to go in for quite a good field in the next few years, and J am gradually 

 adding each year. You will find enclosed a photo of a stalk cut May 23d. How 

 much larger do they growl" REGINALD KEITH, Richmond, Va. 



"I am adding to my Asparagus bed an extension of 10 x 15. Will you kindly 

 send me the necessary number of roots for this of your best variety and as old 

 as will properly bear transplanting? I bought roots from you six years ago 

 and set them out in accordance with your directions, and the bed has borne 

 steadily and increasingly ever since." W. F. WOODW ARD , Portland, Ore. 



" I bought fifty 3-year old Palmetto Asparagus roots, and they have given such 

 great satisfaction that my friend, Mr. Oldfield, asks me to send for fifty 

 for him." W. T. BROWN, Muskogee, Okla.
