ASPARAGUS — -a Double Money Crop 
*500 to $ IOOO Per Acre Yearly 
Statistics show that Asparagus pays dividends of 25 to 1 annually 
on every dollar of the initial investment! That same rate of profit 
can be depended upon for 10 to 15 years from one planting—making 
a total ratio of about $300 profit from each $1,00 invested over the 
period of profitable bearing years. The upkeep expense is very little 
or nothing if you have your own stable manure. Many growers claim 
that they make more actual profit from Asparagus than from 
Strawberries! 
Earliest Spring Profits 
Famous Washington Rust-Proof 
Wise growers are discarding all other varieties of 
Asparagus for Washington. It has become famous 
throughout the country because it is immune from 
rust—which means every stalk can be used and there 
is no waste! It is far more productive, and tips are 
larger than any other variety. A rapid grower, which 
me °ri s J7 lany cu tt' n gs. Longer cutting season, and 
profitable crops for more years than can be secured 
from other varieties. The color of Washington is an 
attractive purplish green. 
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! If you grow more tips than needed for your local market, it 
is easy to sell the bunches by the crate at $3.00 to $3.50 per crate 
wholesale. The cutting season lasts well into the Strawberry season, 
making it convenient to haul the very last crate to market while 
marketing your strawberries. 
Excellent Health Food 
Asparagus should have a place in every home garden, even 
though you have room for only a few roots. The big, tender, juicy 
tips of Washington are not only delicious, but physicians and dieti¬ 
tians claim they are exceptionally RICH IN VITAMINS essential to 
good health. Should be eaten every day during the Asparagus sea¬ 
son, and canned for frequent serving the year around. Plant at 
least 100 roots to supply your home table.
