ASPARAGUS. 
This delicious vegetable would be more exten- 
sively grown if it were not for the mistaken 
idea that it is difficult to cultivate. There is nothing in the whole list 
of vegetables of easier culture and once established, a bed will last 
for many years. Can be cut and used the second season after plant- 
ing and a bed properly made and cared for will last for many years 
without replanting.

roots or seed, or mailed to anyone on application. We have grown 
an immesne stock of fine roots which we offer at exceptionally

NUT BEARING TREES. 
Nut culture is an industry that, until recently, has received but little 
attention by American planters. Probably no branch of tree culture pays 
larger profits or offers better inducements to planters than this, while 
most kinds are growing into valuable timber trees that will of themselves 
pay large dividends on the investment. 
These are of easy culture, of dwarf habit, hardy, 
yielding abundantly.
