ARTICHOKE 



Seed may be planted during March or April in a bed arranged so that the young plants can be given protection until clanger of 

 frost is past. When large enough to transplant, they should be set in rows about 4 feet apart and about 2 feet apart in the row. 

 In localities where winter temperatures are not severe, such plants will produce a crop of buds the second year. Where winters 

 are severe, they must be mulched with a heavy dressing of leaves or straw to protect the crowns. 



Note — The seed we offer is of the true Artichoke and should not be confused with the Jerusalem Artichoke. 



GREEN GLOBE Plants of medium height with large thistle-like medium deep green foliage. The edible buds or flower heads 

 are deep green, globe-shaped or ovoid. The fleshy bud scales, moderately broad and full at base, are regarded as a delicacy. 



ASPARAGUS 



When starting an asparagus bed from seed, it is advisable to soak the seed for 24 hours before planting. This makes germina- 

 tion more rapid and certain. Sow in spring in rows about 18 inches apart, allowing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover 2 inches 

 deep. When plants are well established, thin to about an inch apart. Hoe frequently during the summer. The plants will be 

 ready to set in a permanent bed the following spring. 



When planting roots for the permanent bed, the soil should be worked to a depth of 16 or 18 inches and a liberal dressing of 

 stable manure or peat-moss and a good fertilizer applied. Make trenches about 4 inches deep and 6 inches wide and place the 

 roots crown up about 2 feet apart. Leave the rows at least 4 feet apart. With care, a bed of 500 square feet, requiring about 100 

 roots, will amply provide for an average family for 8 or 10 years. 



MARY WASHINGTON A strain selected from Martha Washington. It is a little earlier and more vigorous than the original. 

 The shoots are slightly ovoid in shape, firm and tender and richly flavored.
