QUALITY SEEDS FOR THE CRITICAL GROWER 



ASPARAGUS 



This is one of the earliest spring- vegetables, and should be in universal 

 use. Many persons think it is difficult to grow, but we consider this a mis- 

 take, 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 the early 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 or five inches high, great 

 care should be taken to keep the bed free of weeds. One ounce of seed will 

 BOW fortv feet of row. 



WASHINGTOir ASPARAGUS. — Rust Resistant. This variety is the result of 

 careful breeding by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, with the object of 

 eliminating rust. A dark green color. 



PALMETTO. — A very early maturing variety, producing an abundance of 

 very large, deep green shoots. 



BARB'S MAMMOTH. — The stalks are very large, and retain their thickness 

 completely up to the top of the shoots; light in color. 



CONOVER'S COIiOSSAIi. — .\ mammoth green sort of the largest size and of 

 good quality. One of the be.^t known and most generally cultivated varieties. 



ASPARAGUS ROOTS. — A saving of one to two years is effected by planting 

 roots. A bed 12x40 feet, requiring about 100 roots, should give a sufficient 

 supply for an ordinary family. 8,000 roots will plant an acre. Select good 

 loamy soil, plow deep, put in good quantity of manure and 100 pounds kainit 

 to 1,000 square feet of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, make a trench eight inches 

 deep, set plants 15 inches apart. In field culture rows are placed four feet 

 apart.

BEANS 



POLE OR RUMMING 



These are of strong, running 

 growth, and need stout poles on 

 which to climb. They require a 

 longer season in which to mature 

 than do the bush varieties, but 

 by reason of their stronger growth 

 are more productive, and growing 

 on poles are more easily gathered.
