ASPARAGUS 
The asparagus furnishes the table with the first green vegetable in the spring and 
every family should have a bed of this delicious vegetable; requires very little care, 
when once started. Any of the following are good. 
Barr’s Mammoth— The stalks of this excellent 
variety are very large, sometimes nearly an inch in 
diameter. It shows strong, well developed shoots the 
entire season, with few scales. Very tender and pro¬ 
ductive and of the finest flavor. Honest packet 5c, oz.

as fit for use without earthing up, or any other artificial 
blanching. Largely grown in the south for early spring 
trade, and shipped north. Honest packet 5c, oz. 8c, ]/± 
ft. 15c, 1b. 50c. 
Palmetto —Until the introduction of this variety, 
Conover’s Colossal had always been the leading sort,

much earlier, better yielder, and of more even growth.

ing large, thick, dark-green shoots. Honest packet 5c, 
oz. 8c, K ft. 15c, ft 50c.
