WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS 
ROOTS 
A rust resistant variety, of large size 
and rapid growth. Most profitable for 
market, and very prolific. The tips 
are firm and tight, and do not open 
out until quite tall. They are dark 
green and thick, of beautiful appearance 
when bunched. The soil should be deep¬ 
ly dug, and plenty of fertilizer mixed in, 
before the roots are set out. Set the roots 
in rows 2^ to 3% feet apart, 8 to 12 
inches apart in the rows. The plants 
should be set so that the crowns are 2 
inches below the surface. One-year-old 
plants are considered best for setting out. 
For commercial planting 5,445 Aspara¬ 
gus Roots will plant an acre if set 2 feet 
apart and rows 4 feet apart, or 11,000 
plants if set 1 foot apart and rows 4 
feet apart. Price: One-year-old roots, 25 
for 55c, 60 for 90c, 100 for $1.60, pre¬ 
paid.—Not prepaid: 600 for $5.00, 1,000,

No Delivery Beyond the Third Zone (300 Miles). 
On plant orders less than 60c, add 15c for packing 
These plants are extremely hardy, and produce the earliest cabbage, 
fully three or four weeks ahead of any other plants. They are grown 
in Texas, during the winter, when the weather is oft.qn freezing, endur¬ 
ing cold rains and sleet. They can be set out as soon as the ground 
can be worked and are not injured by shipping or transplanting, as they 
make strong growth. They are cheap, 
profitable and sure to grow. 
We offer the three best sorts in bundles 
of about 100 of a kind only, which cannot 
be divided. Prices include postage.

RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 
Rhubarb affords the earliest sauces and pies in spring. Set roots out 
in spring or fall, in rows 4 feet apart, so the crowns are an inch below 
the surface. Do not pull stalks the first season. Plants set out in the 
spring will bear quite abundantly the following season. Fertilizing in 
the fall will be of great help to the next season’s crop.. Price: By mail,
