LaFRANCE FRUIT AND PLANT FARMS

ASPARAGUS 
MARY WASHINGTON 
Extreme drouth has no terror for asparagus. It will live through any kind of dry weather 
and almost any kind of wet weather. However, it does best when the weather is favorable. 
We grow only Mary Washington because it is absolutely free of asparagus rust. We 
have only two year old plants to offer. 
Plant in rows 3% to 4 ft. apart, and about 18 inches to 2% ft. in the rows. It is best 
to furrow out with a lister and then you can use a cultivator. 
It is easy to grow but requires very rich soil. You can’t expect to cut much the first two 
years but after that you can cut all that grows all of the time.

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

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.
