ASPARAGUS 



ASPARAGUS 



VARIETIES 



Two-Year» Roots — Extra Strong 



Donald's Elmira— This new asparagus has attracted much 

 attention through New York State, where it was originated by Mr. 

 A. Donald, a prominent market gardener of Elmira. He has 

 always realized handsome prices, and although a large grower, 

 was unable to supply half the demand. The delicate green color is 

 noticeable, different from either th- famous Barr's Philadelphia 

 Mammoth or Palmetto, while the stocks are more tender and suc- 

 culent. Its mammoth size can be realized from the fact that in 

 the whole crops of bunches of twelve stalks will average four 

 pounds in weight. It requires much less labor in cutting and 

 bunching, thus lessening the expense of marketing. 2-year roots, 

 75c. per dozen by mail ; $1.00 per 100 by express ; $5.00 per 1000. 



Palmetto — Of Southern origin ; a variety of excellent quality. 

 Early, very large, very prolific, and all who have used it pronounce 

 it ahead of any other. 2-year roots, 50c. per dozen by mail; 75c. 

 per 100 by express ; $5.00 per 1000. 



Barr— Early and large, and when placed on the tnarket its ap- 

 pearance makes a demand for it, while others are at a drag. 40c. 

 per dozen by mail ; 75c. per 100 by express ; 45.00 per lOOC. 



Conover — Very large, and makes rapil growth; planted 

 mostly by market gardeners. Can be cut quite frequ3ntl,5r., and 

 brings highest price. 2-year roots, 40c. per dozen by raaU J '/5e. per 

 100 by express ; $5.00 per 1000.

 water, and let them remain for twenty-four hours or more, until they regain their fresh, plump appearance, 

 when they may be planted.
