NICHOI SON’S VEGETABLE SEEDS are produced by the most reliable growers in different sections of the 
world and are tested in our own laboratory for germination, so you may plant with confidence. Being located in a 
State where vegetable production in a commercial way is large, we carefully watch “Quality” and select seeds that 
are proven varieties for growing in the South. See page 72 for Vegetable Planting Schedule. 
ARTICHOKE

CULTURE. Plant the seed in the spring 
of the year and. when large enough to trans¬ 
plant. they should be set in rows 4 feet apart 
and 2 feet apart in the row. Planted in this 
manner the plants will produce a crop of 
delicious artichokes the second year.

bud scales, moderately broad, are regarded as 
a delicacy. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; % lb., $1.35.

foot apart early in the spring or fall, after 
soaking seed in warm water for an hour.

well up, thin plants to one inch apart a r ' rl 
cultivate often until the plants are a year 
old. 
You can have a fine bed of Asparagus by 
planting our Washington or Palmetto roots.

from the bed next spring. With seed, a year 
longer is necessary.

thoroughly prepared and worked very deep.

in rows 4 to 6 feet apart. Cultivate fre¬ 
quently until plants meet in the rows. Use 
plenty of stable manure or other fertilizer on

well into soil. A sprinkling of salt and a 
dressing of manure after the plants die down 
each year is advisable.
