Washington Asparagus 
FAMOUS RUST-PROOF STRAIN 
Wise and experienced growers are discarding all other varieties 
of Asparagus for Washington. This variety was introduced by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture several years ago and has become 
famous throughout the country. The stalks are larger and more 
tender than other varieties. Washington is immune to rust, and 
one planting will produce profitable crops for many years.

Many farmers in this locality claim that they make more profit 
from Asparagus than from strawberries. Asparagus is very easy to 
grow, requiring practically no care and is very easy to harvest. As 
Washington tips do not rust, every stalk can be used and there is 
no waste. Washington is far more productive than other Asparagus. 
A rapid grower, which means many cuttings. 
Earliest Spring Profits 
As Asparagus tips are ready to sell before any other Spring vege- 
table there is always an eager market waiting to snap up the crop at 
attractive prices. Cash comes in handy at that time of the year, too! 
A Fancy Table Food 
Asparagus should have a place in every home garden, even if you 
have room for only a few roots. The big, tender, juicy tips of 
Washington are rich in vitamins and should be eaten every day dur- 
ing the Asparagus season. Washington is also excellent to cold-pack 
in glass cans for use all through the year. Plant at least 100 roots 
in your garden for table use and canning.
