the young plants transplant in March or April.

large, globular, deep green, with tinge of purple at base.

ASPARAGUS 
ESPARAGO 
Plant seed from January to May. 
CULTURE. Asparagus requires a deep rich, cool soil, 
heavily manured and thoroughly tilled. Plant seed in beds 
or rows, cover about 1 inch. Keep watered and weeded first 
year, and if too thick in bed thin out to two or three inches 
apart, and you get better roots. After one year’s growth 
they can be transplanted to rows three to four feet apart 
and one foot apart in the row. Cultivation should be done 
early in the spring before the shoots start and in the fall 
after "cutting” is over. Cut the foliage off as soon as it 
begins to turn yellow and burn it so as to prevent rust get¬ 
ting started and also to get rid of the seed which if allowed 
to get onto the ground will be coming up all over the patch 
and be a nuisance. Cover with heavy dressing of manure 
during winter. It takes about 7,000 plants to set an acre 
or about two pounds of seed. An ounce will produce 300 
good plants.

eral garden purposes, especially for shipping. Shoots are

15c; y 4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.00. Postpaid.

the rust resistant varieties and the best with the advantage 
over all other varieties of being earlier, which means so 
much to the grower. Seed is very scarce. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
V 4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.00. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS are obtainable during the month of

BEANS 
FRIJOLES 
Plant snap beans from January to September. 
CULTURE. Beans respond very rapidly to good soil and 
cultivation. A light, rich, well-drained loam is the most 
desirable. The use of manure is advisable, but should be 
used sparingly as it might make the plant run too much to 
vine. There is no plant more sensitive to cold and wet than 
the bean. We therefore advise not to plant until the ground 
has become dry and warm. The largest returns will result 
in planting in drills from 2 to 3 feet apart. Cover the seed 
one and one-half inches deep and thin the younger plants 
3 to 6 inches apart in the row. If planted in hills, about 
2 feet apart each way. 
BEANS, POLE 
KENTUCKY WONDER. This is the leading all around
