The New Washington Rust-resisting Asparagus 
The Best and Only Asparagus for the Home-Garden 
Marvelously jiroductive—the most vigorous of all existing kinds—yields a crop two years ahead of all 
other varieties; absolutely rust-resistant; largest, sweetest, most tenfler, and succulent shoots. These are 
the enviable qualities of this new Asparagus, developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and it is 
so far ahead in every point of other existing varieties that we recommend it as the only variety to plant 
in the home-garden or on the farm. No garden is too small for an 
Asparagus bed—100 plants, pro{)erly set out, will occupy a space 
only 10 by 25 feet, and, once established, such a bed will yield splen¬ 
didly, with a minimum of care, for at least twelve years.

Culture. —Beans grow well in any good garden soil. Usually the first planting can be made the 
last week in April, followed by successive plantings about two weeks apart until August 15. Open a 
drill 2 inches deep and drop the Beans 1 inch apart and cover. When well up, draw the soil up against 
the plants and cultivate frequently. Do not cultivate when the dew is on the plants as this frequently 
causes rust. For quick results soak the seed before planting.
