This plant may be grown from seed sown when 
the Cherry is in bloom or from suckers taken from 
established plants. If the seed be sown, the plants 
may be raised in beds and transplanted. The 
seedlings or sets should be planted out in rows at 
four feet apart and eighteen inches in the row. 
Success with Artichoke in the United States cannot 
be expected north of the Cotton Belt. 
Large Green Globe 
The variety which is so popular on the market today. 
Thousands of acres are now being grown to per¬ 
fection in California. Heads green, elongated, and 
plants spiny. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 45c.; £ lb., 1.50; 
lb., 5.00. 
ASPARAGUS (seed and roots) 
Sow seed in temporary location and let stand for two years; Eight Ounces will plant 100 Yards of 
Row; or Fifteen Pounds per Acre. Set 5000 two-year-old Roots to the Acre. 
Seed breaks ground in 15 days. One inch high in 19 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse 
If roots are purchased, be sure and get large two- 
year-old. Do not waste time or money on small 
roots. 
Set them in trenches about 12 to 16 inches deep; 
rows 4 to 5 feet apart, at your discretion; put in 
manure with two inches of earth on top of the 
manure, so that it will not burn the plants in any 
way. Then set the plants 18 inches apart in the 
row and cover them with about 3 inches of earth, 
and gradually work in earth during the Summer so 
that by Fall the trench will be level with the ground. 
When well planted, fertilized, and limed, a cutting 
of shoots can be made about three times the second 
year after planting; cutting oftener than this is 
injurious. 
If seed is planted, it will take at least three years 
to obtain the first cutting, and then only a small 
one the third year. While, if two-year-old roots are 
planted, the same result will be obtained in one 
full year. Asparagus beds if well cared for are good 
from twelve to fifteen years from first cutting.

Seaboard, first grown in South Carolina.

Mary Washington Seed—(Is rustproof and sur¬ 
prisingly superior.) 
Originated at the Massachusetts Experimental 
Station, the male plants bearing the name Wash¬ 
ington and the two female plants Martha and Mary, 
these three being the parents of this variety wher¬ 
ever sold. It is claimed that both are highly resistant 
to rust and blight. The shoots are long without 
branching, oval in the cross-section, dark green, 
tight buds and rather late in maturing. It will 
resist hot weather without blowing out. It is un¬ 
questionably the best Asparagus ever sold; a very 
large producer of extraordinarily good shoots.
