This tasty vegetable is gaining favor 
rapidly. It is a perennial which will 
persist for many years and continue 
to give a good crop if grown on well- 
drained, rich soil. It is cultivated for 
its flowerbuds, which are cooked 
like Asparagus. ' Besides the meat 
which is attached to the base of each 
bud scale, the bottom of the bud 
has a delicate, pea-like flavor.

LD-FAMOUS FOR QUALITY 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus grows better and produces earlier in 
the spring if planted in well-drained soil having a 
southern exposure. Sow one ounce of seed for 40 
feet of drill; 2 pounds of seed produce enough roots 
for 1 acre. Ask for a free copy of the Burpee leaf¬ 
let, "How to Make an Asparagus Bed."

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
More delicate in flavor than Cabbage. They 
are quite hardy and will live throughout the 
winter in our sections without any protection 
whatever. The flavor and quality of the 
sprouts are greatly improved by frost. Sow 
the seed thinly in drills early in June and 
transplant to rows 3 to 4 ft. apart in the 
garden or field. When the sprouts begin to 
form, remove the lower leaves to force all 
nourishment sent to the lower stem into the 
sprouts. One oz. of seed sows 500 ft. of row. 
Requires 125 days to mature.
