A New Asparagus — "Quality" 
If any more delicious vegetable than crisp, well grown asparagus has been 
invented, tell us about it. And yet people who buy it in the markets seldom, if 
ever, get the best in its best condition. If you possessors'* a square rod of ground 
almost anywhere under the sun, you can produce a daily supply of this most 
healthful vegetable for a family for several months at so little care and expense 
that you will have good reason to laugh. Thoroughly fertilize the space allotted, 
spade deeply, add more fertilizer and spade agairT, "making the soil rich, deep, 
and fine. The bed should be a little raised above the paths when finished. Plant 
the young plants four inches under the surface, placing them eighteen inches 
to two feet apart. Do not cut the stalks the first season if you desire best results 
for the next fifty years, during which with very little care, never-failing crops 
will be produced. Many years ago I produced and introduced a new large, white 
asparagus, which excelled in flavor all others known. In the passing years since, 
even this has been greatly improved and I now offer this, the best asparagu s, 
ever grown. "Quality" produces very large, sweet, light-colored stalks which will 
be a delight to all who grow or use it. You will find that it is "not like other 
asparagus."

Highland Park, III., May 24, 1919.— You may be sure I am delighted with the 
asparagus; particularly because this is my third attempt in the past ten years to 
establish a bed of asparagus, my former attempts having proved a failure with 
"local" stock. 
Kindly accept my sincere thanks and appreciation. Dr. E. R. M.
