AI.A..4 H. G. HASTINGS CO. gives no warranty, either express or im- 
wwarraniy pPed, as to description, quality, productiveness or any other 
matter, of seeds, bulbs or plants they send out, and will not be in any way responsible for 
the crop. If purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be 
returned, and any money that may have been paid for them will be refunded. Crops are 
dependent for success or failure on so many things besides seed that it is impossible for 
us to give any warranty or guarantee. This does not mean that we lack confidence in the 
seeds we sell, but we have no control over the seeds after they leave our house, especially ^ _ 
as to the methods of planting, cultivating and fertilizing, all of which are important factors in the success of any crop. If we 
should warrant or guarantee seeds in any way, we could be held responsible for the failure of the crop, regardless of cause, and this 
is a responsibility we cannot and will not accept. No responsible Si?edsman gives any warranty. ,, , t.. j

Palmetto Asparagus Seed (No. I) South. Seed can be sown in either spring 
or fall thinly in drills one foot apart. When up well, cultivate frequently and continue until 
the roots have grown for one year. In transplanting, put the roots 18 inches apart each way 
and 4 inches below the surface. Use your richest piece of ground and remember that you can 
not use too much manure on asparagus. 
Palmetto is earlier, a better yielder and 
more even and regular in growth than 
many of the later introductions. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; ^4 pound, 35 
cents; pound, $1.00; postpaid. 
Palmetto Asparagus 
You can save from 11/2 
■fOOlS^HOi to 2 years’ time in 
getting your Asparagus bed in condition to 
cut by the use of our splendid large 2-year- 
old Palmetto Asparagus Roots. Plant them 
this spring and cut good Asparagus next 
spring. While this is a little more expen- 
sive than planting the seed, yet the time 
saved and the generally more satisfactory 
growth makes it well worth while to use 
the roots. 50 roots, $1.00; $1.75 per 100; 
postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 
paid, $1.25 per 100; $10.00 per 1,000.

^ nUi tf / Artichokes. They are grown for 
the edible heads and leaves, which are 
boiled and eaten hot or cold or used for 
pickling when half grown. Packet, 10c. 
BUSH BEANS 
latitude (Atlanta) sow bush beans from March till September. 
wUIAUrc Continuous crops may be grown through the entire summer. In Flor- 
ida and along the Gulf Coast plantings may be made earlier, but bush beans will not 
grow well in that section during June, July and August, so spring and fall plantings 
should be made. Sow in drills 18 inches to 2 feet apart, dropping a bean every 4 
inches and covering 2 inches. Soil should be Avarm and moist for successful germi- 
nation. When about to bloom draw the earth up around the stem. Keep the soil 
stirred frequently and as fast as the beans mature pick them off if you want them to 
stay in bearing for a long time. Quantity needed for planting— one pound for each 
75 feet of row; about 75 pounds (1% bushels) per acre.

liest green podded bush
