We give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter, of any seeds 
we send out, and will be in no way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms, they 
are at once to be returned. Percentage of purity and germination for information only and not for guarantee. 
Asparagus 
When starting an asparagus bed from seed, it is advisable to soak the seed for 24 hours before plant¬ 
ing. This makes germination more rapid and certain. Sow in spring in rows about 18 inches apart, allow¬ 
ing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover 2 inches deep. When plants are well established, thin to about an 
inch apart. Hoe frequently during the summer. The plants will be ready to set in a permanent bed the 
following spring. 
MARY WASHINGTON. A strain selected from Martha Washington. It is a little earlier and more 
vigorous than the original. The shoots are slightly ovoid in shape, firm and tender and richly flavored.

Beans 
Plant beans after all danger of frost is past, in 
warm, dry, well-prepared soil. The rows should be 
2 to 3 feet apart and the seeds covered 1% to 2 
inches deep. Thin the young Diants to 3 to 6 inches 
apart in the rows. 
Shallow cultiva¬ 
tion should be fre¬ 
quent until blos¬ 
soming; then stop 
to avoid injury to 
the roots. (Root in¬ 
jury causes the 
blossoms to fall 
off.) For succession, 
plant every 2 weeks 
until midsummer. 
Frequent picking of 
the crop insures 
long bearing. Two 
pounds of seed sow 
100 feet, and 60 
pounds sow 1 acre.
