ABOUT WARRANTY 
HALL SEED COMPANY gives no warranty, express 
or implied 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 crop 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 so 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 accept. No responsible 
.seedsman gives any sueh warranty. 
HOME OF PREMIUM SEEDS, 219-21 EAST JEFFERSON 
ASPARAGUS SEED 
One Ounce will produce about 200 roots; 3 lbs. will 
produce enough roots for one acre. 
Sow the seed in the Spring, in rows about 18 inches 
apart, using about 15 to 20 seeds to a foot of row, 
cover with about one inch of soil. By the following 
Spring the roots will be ready for setting in the 
permanent bed. 
MARY WASHINGTON RUST-PROOF —-This variety is 
without a doubt the most popular Asparagus avail¬ 
able today. It was introduced by the United States 
Department of Agriculture and has proved to pos¬ 
sess remarkable rust-resisting qualities. Produces 
long, straight stalks of a rich green color running 
darker at the tips. While it has the thickness de¬ 
sired in Asparagus, you will find it is the most 
tender and deliciously flavored that you have ever 
tasted. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % !!>• 35c; lb. $1.00. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Asparagus roots are planted in trenches 1 foot wide 
and 6 inches deep. Lay the roots 18 inches apart, 
taking care to spread the roots well with the crown 
up. Then cover them with about 4 inches of soil. 
As the plants begin to grow, gradually fill in the 
trenches to the surface. They may be planted in 
either single-row or double-row beds, allowing 
about 3 to 4 feet between beds in either case, 2-year- 
old plants, set out in the Spring, will yield tips for 
use the following Spring; however, it is best to cut 
sparingly the first season. One-year-old plants 
should not be cut until the second season. 25c per 
(loz.; $1.25 per 100; $11.00 per 1000.

trade and has become quite popular in our American 
gardens; forms a fair size, green head; after this is 
cut from the main stalk, new sprouts develop, which 
form small heads of a loose nature. In order to get 
an early crop, sow seed in cold frames, transplant¬ 
ing at the proper time; ready for use in about four 
months from sowing of seed. Prepare this delicious 
vegetable same as cauliflower. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c;
