Palmetto Asparagus 
Standard among the asparagus shippers of California 
is the Palmetto, and Germain’s has gone to a really 
unwarranted expense to get seed from the most perfect 
first growth stock. This strain grows to mammoth 
proportions, and very even in size, which makes it espe¬ 
cially popular with shippers. The shoots are a light green, 
slightly tinted with pink, and are tender to an unusual 
length. No one will be disappointed with the produc¬ 
tiveness and fine edible qualities of the Palmetto Aspara¬ 
gus. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., M lb. 30 cts., lb. §1.00. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Occidental races have always been very slow to absorb 
anything from the Chinese, but it is surprising that so 
few people have learned to appreciate the value of the 
Chinese Cabbage, which is a type that has been main¬ 
tained for hundreds of years by that race. In this section 
it is largely grown for Chinese consumption, and it only 
remains for Americans to find out its merits to make it a 
popular garden vegetable. It is tender and crisp and 
blanches itself perfectly, and 
is equally good raw or cooked. 
Pkt. 25 cts., oz. 
75 cts., ^ lb. $1.75 
lb. $6.00.
