ARTICHOKE 
French Globe. A most delicious vegetable, particularly popular in 
France, which may be grown from seed or from plants. We can furnish 
both. The heads are usually boiled, and the meaty part on the bottom of 
each scale eaten with butter and salt. Sow the seeds early in April an ' 
transplant, when large enough, in rows 4 feet apart, and 2 feet apart i 
the row. The plants from seed yield the second year, and should be v/e. 
protected during the winter. Large Globe or Paris, French seed, pkt. 
50 cts., oz. $2.50; plants, $2.50 per doz. 
Jerusalem ( Helianthus tuberosus). This Artichoke is cultivated prin- 
cipally for its tubers, which are produced in great abundance underground. 
They are of a delicious flavor and very hardy. Tubers are dug, like pota- 
toes, late in the fall and stored in the cellar for use during winter. Plant- 
ing tubers, lb. 30 cts., 10 ios. j.2.50.

ASPARAGUS 
Every garden should have a bed of Asparagus, for it is 
easily grown and, once established, requires very little care. 
Because of its carliness it is probably the most appreciated of 
all the vegetables we grow. Asparagus can be raised either 
from seed or from roots. If grown from seed, sow as early in 
spring as the ground can be worked, transplanting to a per- 
manent bed the second year. Our Giant French or Argen- 
teuil is an excellent, variety, developing sturdy plants from 
seed more rapidly than do other varieties, and, when grown 
from roots, it produces the immense tender stalks that are 
so desirable.
