PLANT and VEGETABLE GARDEN 
Our catalog describes all of the best standard varieties and the newer kinds that 
have become popular. 
It is surprising how small a piece of ground is needed to supply a family of average 
size with fresh vegetables through the whole season. A piece of ground, say thirty by 
forty feet, will do it. There are many sorts of vegetables that pay to grow at home. 
In comparison with the ridiculously small cost, the return surely does warrant the 
effort. 
ASPARAGUS 
CULTURE—Seed planting—Asparagus may be sown from seed and a crop obtained in 
three years. In the early Spring sow the seed after soaking it for 24 hours in warm 
water, in drills one foot apart and one inch deep. The following Spring select the best 
plants and place in a permanent bed. Root Planting—One year may be saved by buying 
the plants and setting them at least two feet in the row and the rows not closer than 
four feet; see that the roots are well and evenly spread out and are not left exposed 
to the air. 
GIANT WASHINGTON—Genuine rust-resistant strain. This variety is stronger 
and more productive, owing to its great vigor, than the old varieties and can be cut 
sooner from time of planting. Packet 5c—Ounce 25c — x /\ lb. 50c.
