we used to catalog we now retain but one, the Senator Dunlap — r a product of the 
Mississippi Valley and especially adapted to it. Probably no other variety of fruit 
ever introduced here has given as universal satisfaction as this one. Every claim 
made for it has been more than met. Some of its strong points are: 
(1) A clean, healthy and vigorous plant, capable of resisting intense cold and 
severe drought, and making an abundance of good and strong plants when almost 
every other variety fails. 
(2) A long blooming season, with an abundance of pollen, making it one of 
the best self-fertilizers, and also the best for fertilizing pistillate varieties. 
(3) A long fruiting season — coming in with the medium early and holding out 
when most others are gone — developing and ripening all of its berries. 
(4) Uniformly large, well-shaped, dark bright red, glossy berries with a very 
large bright green calyx. Berries of the finest quality and flavor. 
(5) A good keeper. Its long keeping qualities and attractive appearance make 
it more salable than most others. 
(6) A good canner, retaining its bright red color in the- cans. 
We obtained our breeding stock direct from the introducer. Our plants are 
pure, no other variety being grown upon our grounds, and the best that can be pro- 
duced. 25c per dozen; ?i.oo per 100; $2.00 per 250; 13.50 per 500; ?6.oo per 1,000. 
Asparagus 
Asparagus is one of the earliest and finest of spring vegetables; so easy of cul- 
ture, profitable and wholesome, that every family garden should have a very liberal 
supply. 
Choose well-drained fertile soil, work it up fine and deep, and place the plants 
in rows 4 feet apart and 8 inches apart in the low; spread out the roots in a trench 
made deep enough to permit their crowns to be covered with three or four inches 
of mellow soil; give the rows a liberal dressing of well rotted manure at least once 
each year, and fifteen pounds of salt per rod length early every spring. Do no 
cutting the first season. 
Any or all of the following described varieties will 
give entire satisfaction if managed as above. Price>, 
2 year roots, 50c per dozen, 75c per 25, $1.25 per 50, 
$2.00 per 100. 
Columbian Mammoth Whit* — A distinct variety of 
strong, vigorous growth, producing very large white 
shoots that in favorable weather remain white until 
two or three inches high, or as long as fit for use. 
Market gardeners and those growing for canning will 
find this a very profitable variety. 
Palmetto — A very early variety extensively grown 
for early markets; even, regular size, of excellent qual- 
ity, and considered by many as the best variety in 
cultivation. 
Conover's Colossal — A mammoth variety of vigorous 
growth; tender and excellent quality; sends up fifteen 
or twenty very large sprouts each year. Color deep 
green, and crown very close. 
Barr's Mammoth — A variety that comes highly 
praised. Said to be nearly double the size, and much 
more productive, than Conover's Colossal. 
Rhubarb or Pie Plant 
Linnaeus — Large, early, tender and fine. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 
;per 100.
