THE HUB. 
ASPARAGUS,—The Hub 
This new Asparagus—originated and offered by us for the second time—has been thoroughly 
tested, and is considered by all who tried it as a most valuable acquisition, being grown side by 
side with the Conover Colossal , and subject to the same treatment, it came in earlier and grew more 
than twice as large. It is very productive, throwing up a great number of strong well-developed 
shoots throughout the entire season. It is tender" to the stem, and of delicious flavor. It has 
attracted much attention in our leading restaurants, where it was placed on exhibition. A bunch 
of twenty-five edible shoots weighed thirteen pounds, and sold in market for $5.00, the whole crop 
being sold at four times the price of any other variety. A limited quantity only of the Seed and 
Roots to offer.
