Paimetto Asparagus Seed (No. I) 
The Palmetto, while an old variety, is 
beyond question the best variety for 
the South. Seed can be sown either in fall or spring, thinly in drills one foot apart. When 
AA’ell up cultivate frequently and continue until the roots haA’e groAvn for one year. In trans- 
planting, put the roots 18 inches apart each Avay and 4 inches beloAv the surface. Use your 
richest piece of ground and remember that you cannot use too much manure on asparagus. 
Palmetto is early, a good yielder, even and strong in groAvth. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 
cents; % pound, 35 cents; pound, $1.00.

Ollltlird y®" don’t plant beans in 
VMIAUIV; late summer and fall you lose 
a good part of the “bean season.” Beans 
can be planted all through the summer in 
the Central South up to September Avith 
safety. In Florida and the Gulf Coast sec- 
tions they can be planted still later. Late 
summer and fall planting often yield heav- 
iest crops. Sow in drills 18 inches to 2 
Palmetto Asparagus feet apart; drop a bean every 3 or 4 Inches, 
covering about 2 inches. Keep soil stirred 
frequently and when plants are about to bloom, draAV the earth up close around 
them. Quantity needed for planting — one pound for each 75 feet of roAV ; about 75 
pounds (114 bushels) per acre. Beans are ready to use in 6 to 13 weeks.
