HAINES CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Asparagus 
FOR HOME AND GARDEN 
ASPARAGUS SEED 
Every home and kitchen garden should have a bed of Asparagus, 
one of the most profitable garden crops. 
New Mary Washington 
This variety seems to be the top-notch among rust-resistant 
sorts. It is very early, producing large shoots even the second 
year from seed. These are very large, frequently an inch in 
diameter, with a tendency to be oval in cross-section. Its high- 
branching habit makes it possible to cut shoots with good tight 
tip buds, as much as 2 feet long. The seeds of New Mary Wash¬ 
ington are large and produce strong, thrifty seedlings right from 
the start. Pkt. 7c; oz. 20c; Vi lb. 35c; Vs lb. 55c; lb. $1.00, 
postpaid. 
Brussels Sprouts 
MATCHLESS—The finest strain of sprouts. The plants are of 
strong, vigorous growth, closely jointed and are covered the 
entire height with very large, solid, tightly folded sprouts of 
exquisite quality. The plants are quite hardy, are not injured 
but improved by hard frosts and are left in the gardens or 
field during winter until wanted. These miniature Cabbages 
may be boiled like cabbages or cooked in cream like Cauliflower. 
They are the most delicious and delicately flavored variety of 
the Cabbage family. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vi lb. 60c; 
1/2 lb. $1.10; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 
Broccoli—New Italian Sprouting 
This new Broccoli instead of forming a head like Cauliflower, 
produces from the center of the plant a compact bunch of green 
buds which is cut and used as is Cauliflower. This is the tastiest 
Broccoli ever raised. Pkt. 10c; V 2 oz. 20c; oz. 35c; Vi lb. $1.15; 
1/2 lb. $2.00; lb. $3.50, postpaid.
