Asparagus 
A Healthful Delicacy—Qroivn at Home 
There is nothing difficult in growing Asparagus at home. Our strong, 
two-year roots will prove very productive. Plant a sufficient quantity to 
insure a plentiful supply through the season. 
This delicious and healthful vegetable should be found in every garden. 
Nothing can be more easily grown and no plant will give so much good, 
healthful food for so little outlay. Set in the fall or spring, with the crown 
of the plant about three inches below the surface of the ground. Ten to 
twelve inches by two feet is a good distance to plant. Every fall give the 
bed a good coat of manure, working it in between the rows in the spring. 
Mary Washington. This is a variety that has been produced by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, and is claimed to be more rust resistant than 
the old standard sorts. The shoots are dark green in color and very large.

manure, well worked in every fall and spring.

Horseradish 
A Piquant Relish, Easily Grown 
Malincr Kren Horseradish 
Maliner Kren. This variety was 
brought from Bohemia. It is 
much earlier, has larger roots 
and will produce nearly one' 
third more to the acre than the 
ordinary Horseradish. The 
quality is of the best. 
Your success means our success. For this reason we are careful to 
recommend only varieties that we have every reason to expect will 
produce the results you desire, if given proper care. You may ask 
why some of the new things that are so widely advertised are not in 
this book. It is because we want to see them tested more thoroughly 
for our severe northern climate before we offer them to our customers. 
Our policy is to try and give “Service that satisfies . 11
