.-;----- variety particularly delic¬ 
ious in quality. No home garden can be complete without 
it. Asparagus is one of the greatest garden delicacies, coming 
in at a season when there is no competitor. When once 
planted this will continue to produce abundantly forlife. The 
plants late in the season are objects of great beauty, and are 
worth growing for their beauty. Palmetto asparagus is 
valuable for its health-giving properties. It is also appetizing 
and is a rare delicacy for any table. 
Conover’s Colossal Asparagus. No vegeta-

tractive to the delicate appetite of the epicure as the first 
delicious cuttings of this early asparagus. No vegetable is 
more beneficial as an appetizer to persons of sedentary 
habits. It is difficult to account for its cultivation being 
neglected. In country gardens it is rarely to be found, 
although so healthful and nutritious; yet everyone should 
have an asparagus bed. This good old variety is known 
everywhere; is of large size, rapid in growth and of good 
quality.

Have you a bed of pieplant in your garden? If not do not 
fail to start a bed this spring, ft prefer to plant a solid row of 
pieplant running. Pieplant is one of the most easily trans¬ 
planted of all plants. It is sure to grow, and once planted will 
continue to produce an abundant supply for the family for 
life. The richer the ground the more luxuriant the growth, 
and the longer the stalks. 
Linnaeus Rhubarb. We have millions of well-rooted

spring opens, the human system needs an acid. Fruits have 
not yet supplied these acids, therefore rhubarb, or pieplant, 
is the main source. Those who eat pieplant pie and sauce 
freely are greatly benefited. Do you realize what excellent 
sauce can be made of rhubarb? Set 15 to IS inches apart, in 
the row. For ornament alone it pays to plant it. This is the 
best variety.
