Most Profitable Vegetable for Market Gardeners 
and Home Use. Everybody receiving this catalog 
who owns or has a lease on any land should plant 
at least a hundred roots of th<s delicious vegetable. 
It yields the first retvuns in the spring when vege-. 
tables are expensive and so highly relished. $500.00 
per Acre Profit is a eouimon yield. Perfectly hardy 
and when once establislied lasts for years. For 
immediate returns we reeomniend purchasing 9\ur 
tn^o-ycar-old thrifty roots setting in the sprijjg 
and the following spring you can market a g^oif 
crop and bigger ones each succeeding year. Where 
one needs several thousand roots and don't feel 
like investing in so many at once, it is sometimes 
advisable to purchase part roots and part seed, 
-owing the seed in drills in early spring and in two 
years' time you will have thimsand.s of roots at a 
very low cost. By all means start your bed this 
year. Don't put it off any longer. Our free cul- 
ture Leaflet furnished with every order gives you 
full instructions how to grow Asparagus profit- 
ably. 
Bonvallet's 
Giant 
BONVALLETS GIANT Asparagus is superior 
to all others. We have grown and thoroughly tested 
every known variety of Asparagus but — in the 
American climate at least — Bonvallet's Giant is 
the king of all Asparagus. Tt is superior in every 
way, larger, earlier. (]uicker in growth, more con- 
tinuous in bearing and more uniform in size. The 
stalks average about an inch in diameter, the 
usual buneh of 1-4 shoots is ISJ.-j inches in circum- 
ference, and weighs abinit 2 pounds, it is delicious 
in flavor, extremely tender, and equally well 
adapted to all sections of the country. It is also 
less susceptible to disease, having yielded abundant 
crops where all oth("r varieties have entirely sue- 
ciinibed. (See cut.) Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 16
