TUCKERS’ SEED HOUSE, CARTHAGE. MISSOURI 
Tuckers’ Quality Vegetable Seeds 
TUCKERS’ QUALITY means the best that can be produced in Vegetable Seeds. It means trueness to 
variety and high germination, and these mean satisfaction to you in your garden. We test each va¬ 
riety before sending it out to our customers, and the Germination must he strictly up to standard or 
we do not send it out. 
In our Vegetable Seed Department we list only such varieties as are of real merit, having excluded 
all sorts that are not of value, and have cut out a number of out-of-date varieties. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS —Will be found at the heading of each class of vegetables, and also on 
most of our packets. These directions, while reliable, will not apply in every detail to the extreme sec¬ 
tions of the United States, and therefore some allowance must be made for the difference of latitude. 
ASPARAGUS 
Can be grown in any good garden soil, but does best in sunny, moist soil. To grow plants from seed, 
sow in drills about one inch deep in rows, one foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds; 
during the summer thin out and the following spring plants may be set in the permanent bed. Set the 
plants one foot apart each way, spreading the roots well apart. Cover with about three inches of soil. 
Columbian Mammoth White 
The immense shoots are clear white, and in favorable weather remain so until 
three or four inches above the surface. The crown or bud of the young stalk is 
considerably smaller than the part below it. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 14 lb. 30c; 
lb. $1.00. 
New Washington 
The rust-resistant variety. This variety originated with the Department of 
Agriculture, Washington, D. C., after years of careful hybridizing and selection. 
Only vigorous-growing plants, free from rust, were used. Should be used on 
account of its disease resistant quality. It should prove a boon to market gar¬ 
deners. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 50c; lb. $2.00. 
Asparagus Roots 
Dig or plow a trench 15 to 18 inches deep, put in plenty of well rotted manure, 
covering it with a few inches of soil, then set the roots 1% to 2 feet apart and 
cover with 4 inches of soil. In the fall, cut off and burn the top growth, and give 
a good application of stable manure. Early in the spring fork this in, and as 
the asparagus begins to grow, earth up to blanch the stalks as they grow. 
FOR FIELD CULTURE —The rows may be from 4 to 6 feet apart and the roots 
set one foot apart in the rows. A subsoil plow should be used to break the soil 
as deeply as possible. 
NEW WASHINGTON. —A new giant variety, developed by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture; extremely vigorous, high yielding and free from rust. Postpaid, 
dozen 30c; 50 for $1.25; 100 for $2.00. 
COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE— Good, strong roots. Postpaid, dozen, 30c; 
50 for $1.00; 100 for $1.75. 
Brussels Sprouts 
A species of the Cabbage family, which produces miniature 
heads from the sides of the stalk. These heads are a great 
delicacy, boiled in the same way as Cauliflower. The seed 
should be sown about the middle of May, in a seed bed, and the 
plants afterwards set in rows, 2 feet or more apart, and culti¬ 
vated like Cabbage. 
IMPROVED DWARF —Produces compact sprouts of the finest 
quality; a good keeper. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 50c; 
lb. $1.75. 
Borecole or Kale 
Kale, or German Greens, do not form heads, but furnish an 
abundance of pretty curled leaves that are highly prized as 
food. Sow from the middle of April to the beginning of May ; 
transplant and cultivate like Cabbage. Will endure consider¬ 
able frost without injury. 
DWARF GREEN CURLED —Is very dwarf and spreading. 
The leaves are beautifully curled and of a bright green color; 
quite hardy. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c: oz. 15c; % 1b. 50c: lb. $1.75.
