ASPARAGUS 
MARY WASHINGTON 
Because of the drouth we only have two year old plants and they are 
good plants. We have quit growing all other sorts. Plant asparagus very 
early in the spring. Furrow rows with a lister. Plant two feet apart in the 
rows and cover two or three inches deep. Work the soil to the plants the 
first year as they grow. It is an easy crop to grow. You cannot cut it much 
until the third year after planting, although you should get enough to use 
the second year. Do not expect anything the first year. 
Prices by express: 25 for 50c; 100 for $1.50; 1000 for $8.00. 
These plants are heavy and should be sent by express.

PEONIES 
The peonies came through the drouth in good condition and all bulbs 
seem to be in good shape. In planting peonies do not plant too deep. If you 
plant too deep it will be a long time before they produce blooms. They re¬ 
quire a good soil. Should be planted in September.

ROSES 
Every year roses become more popular. Everybody plants roses and 
they are really the greatest cut flower that is grown. Because of the drouth 
and unprecedented demand for roses the price is very much higher than in the 
past and will continue so for some years to come. All our roses are two- 
year-old field grown stock. Roses will be cut back ready to plant.
