pound; this season it has been $1 per pound. "Wonders never cease." I now 
offer a new garlic, the "Elephant," which is more than ten times as productive 
as any other. A single clove of the "Elephant" is as large as a whole cluster of 
the ordinary garlic. Astoundingly productive, thoroughly hardy, easily raised, 
and exactly like the old garlic except in its enormous proportions. Order at once 
if you expect to get any "Elephants." Last year we were all sold out before the 
season was half through. 
Single clove, 10c; five, 40c; ten, 75c; 100, $6. Enormous round mother-bulbs, 
50c each; ten, $4. Considering the size, these prices are not much above those 
of the common garlic this season. 
Artichokes The New Hybrids After many years, at great expense, I now 
can tor the first time offer seeds of the 
l^urbank Hybrid Articliokes. They produce lieads of enormous size in greatest 
quantity and of superior quality. Tliese new artichokes often produce on good

Tliese delicious globe articliokes can be grown in the cold Northern stales by 
starting the plants early in pots or boxes in a warm place and transplanting to 
a good deep rich soil early in the Spring. The best plants can then be kept in 
the cellar for making offsets for the next Spring planting. 
A New Asparagus "Quality" ''^"^ ^o'^^ 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 possess half a square rod of ground almost 
anywhere under the sun, you can produce a daily supply of tliis 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 again, 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 
tlie next fifty years, during wliich with very little care, never-failing crops will 
be produced. Many years ago I produced and introduced a new large, white
