Plant and Vegetable Garden 
Our catalog describes all of the best standard varieties and the newer kinds that 
have become popular. 
It is surprising- how small a piece of ground is needed to supply a family of 
average size with fresh vegetables through the whole season. A piece of ground, say 
thirty by forty feet, will do it. There are many sorts of vegetables that pay to grow 
at home. In comparison with the ridiculously small cost, the return surely does war¬ 
rant the effort. 
ASPARAGUS 
CULTURE—Seed planting—Asparagus may be sown from seed and a crop obtained 
in three years. In the early Spring sow the seed after soaking it for 24 hours in warm 
water, in drills one foot apart and one inch deep. The following Spring select the best 
plants and place in a permanent bed. Root Planting—One year may be saved by buying 
the plants and setting them at least two feet in me row and the rows not closer than 
four feet; see that the roots are well and evenly spread out and are not left exposed 
to the air.
