ASPARAGUS 



Every home with a garden, in country or city, should 

 have a bed of Asparagus. Every farm can add materially 

 to its income with a patch of Asparagus. A bed is easy 

 to plant and care for. When once started it will yield the 

 same kind of paying crops year after year for ten to twenty- 

 five years. Asparagus is a money-maker as an orchard 

 inter-crop. The cultivation it requires is exactly what 

 the trees need. This cultivation is neither difficult nor 

 expensive, and the right methods are picked up readily 

 by any one. 



2-year, 40 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000; i-year, 

 $1 per 1,000 less

 brittle; size immense; stalks uniformly large, and can be

 heavy crops of the largest white stalks. It is very long- 

 lived. Holds its lead in all the leading Asparagus sections.

 light green variety of which the yield is always enormous.

COWPEAS 



Now that the advantages of legumes are getting to be 

 so well known, we think it advisable to offer seed. In our 

 experience the growing of trees is hard on land. This is 

 true to such an extent that we have to rest our land for 

 a couple of years after growing a crop or two of trees on it. 

 We find that nothing will so quickly restore vitality and 

 fertility as Cowpeas. We plant them between seedlings 

 and put them in at every opportunity we get. 



Every planter of an orchard ought to make use of some 

 legume to fill his soil full of nitrogen for the use of his 

 trees. Almost always Cowpeas will be the best legume to 

 be found. They can be put in among other crops, the tops 

 harvested or turned under. As a cover-crop, mixed with 

 some oats, they are fine. The market prices change so 

 much and so often that we can not quote prices; but write 

 us when you want some and we will quote; or, tell us in 

 your order how many you need, and we will make them 

 lowest market rates.
