ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is one of the first vegetables in spring, as well as one of 
the best grown in the garden. It is perfectly hardy, grows year after 
year from the same roots and never fails to produce a crop. Asparagus 
does well on any well-drained soil, but the best results are obtained from 
rich, deep, loamy soil.

and other diseases. Stalks are large and thick; dark green with a heavy

GARDEN BEANS 
SELECTED NORTHERN GROWN 
Given moisture, this crop can be planted in the South in succession 
until the middle of August. A good, sandy loam is the best soil for 
beans, but they will grow well in any soil of average richness. 
The bush varieties should be planted 1% inches deep in drills 18 inches 
or 2 feet apart, 2 inches apart in the drill. When the plants are well 
up, thin gradually to six to eight inches from each other, leaving the 
strongest plants as much as possible. The pole variety should be planted 
two or three beans in a hill, two feet apart each way. Give them clean 
cultivation, mellowing the soil about them, but not going too deep, hill¬ 
ing broad and flat about the time they are to bear. Do not hoe them 
when wet from dew or rain, as this induces rust of leaves or pods. 
A pound will plant 100 feet of drill; 2 bushels, or 120 lbs. to the 
acre in drills. For a larger yield of Beans, use Nitragin. (See Inside 
Front Cover.)
