Mary Washington Asparagus 
Asparagus Roots 
A leaflet on the “Planting and Care of 
Asparagus” sent with every order 
The popularity of Asparagus in the home- 
garden is growing rapidly, as people learn 
how easily it may be raised, and how much 
better the flavor is when cooked immediately 
after cutting. Asparagus begins to lose flavor 
20 minutes after being taken from the ground. 
A small bed 12 feet wide and 25 feet long will 
hold 100 plants and yield sufficient Asparagus 
for the family of ordinary size. 
Mary Washington. This new variety is the 
very finest for the home-garden or to grow 
for market. At last we have not only a 
rustproof variety but an Asparagus that is 
very fast-growing, exceedingly tender, of 
excellent flavor, and that produces heavy 
stalks 1 to 2 inches in diameter. It is 
larger and earlier than Pedigreed Washing¬ 
ton, and the stalks are slightly oval in form. 
SELECTED ROOTS. Doz. 45c; 50 for 
$1.25; 100 for $2; 1000 for $13.50. Add 
5c for each 25 roots if to be sent by

den kind. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 40c;
