ASPARAGUS 
When starting an asparagus bed from seed, it is advisable to soak the seed for 24 hours before plant¬ 
ing. This makes germination more rapid and certain. Sow in spring in rows about 18 inches apart, allow¬ 
ing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover 2 inches deep. When plants are well established, thin to about an 
inch apart. Hoe frequently during the summer. The plants will be ready to set in a permanent bed the 
following spring. 
MARY WASHINGTON. A strain selected from Martha Washington. It is a little earlier and more 
vigorous than the original. The shoots are slightly ovoid in shape, firm and tender and richly flavored. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; X A lb., 30c, postpaid. 
-BEANS- 
Plant beans after all danger of frost is past, in 
warm, dry, well-prepared soil. The rows should 
be 2. to 3 feet apart and the seeds covered to 
2 inches deep. Thin the young plants to 3 to 6 
inches apart in the rows. 
Shallow cultivation should be frequent until 
blossoming; then stop to avoid injury to the 
roots. (Root injury causes the blossoms to fall 
off.) For succession, plant every 2 weeks until 
midsummer. Frequent picking of the crop in¬ 
sures long bearing. Two pounds of seed sow 
100 feet, and 60 pounds sow 1 acre.
