LAKGER, EARLIER, MORE UNIFORM IN SIZE, MORE PROLIFIC AND 
DISEASE'RESISTING THAN ANY OTHEK ASPARAGUS GROWN 
Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best 
results are obtained in well-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. 
A well cared for bed improves with age, and lasts for many 
years. It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by 
planting roots. 
The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so that 
the roots cannot safely be dug until about November 1st. By 
this time the soil is so cool, that the plants do not root readily, 
consequently many are winter killed. For this reason, we 
advise only spring planting for any point north of Washington, 
D. C. 
Henderson’s Palmetto Asparagus is superior to all others. 
We have grown and thoroughly tested every known variety of 
Asparagus but—in the American climate at least—Henderson’s 
Palmetto is the king of all Asparagus. It is superior in every 
way, larger, earlier, quicker in growth, more continuous in 
bearing and more uniform in size. The stalks average about 
an inch in diameter, the usual bunch of 15 shoots is 13J^ inches 
in circumference, and weighs about 2 pounds. It is delicious 
in flavor, extremely tender, and equally well adapted to all 
sections of the country. It is also less susceptible to disease, 
having yielded abundant crops where all other varieties have 
entirely succumbed. (See cut.)

“/ wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the results ob¬ 
tained from Henderson’s Palmetto Asparagus. The first roots from you are 
now being cut for the. second season, and I can say that 1 have received the 
largest and finest in this whole section, as can be attested by one of our foremost 
hucksters i)i this market, J. A. Slaughter. Most all stalks cut weigh from 3 
to 6 oz. each and 1 must say that the strain is better than you claim. J hope 
to be able to go in for quite a good field iti the next few years, and 1 am gradually 
adding each year. You will find enclosed a photo of a stalk cut May 23d. How 
much larger do they growl” REGINALD KEITH, Richmond, Va. 
“I am adding to my Asparagus bed an extension of 10 x 15. Will you kindly 
setid me the necessary number of roots for this of your best variety and as old 
as will properly bear transplanting? I bought roots from you six years ago 
and set them out in accordance with your directions, and the bed has borne 
steadily and increasingly ever since.” W. F. WOODWARD, Portland, Ore. 
“ I bought fifty 3-year old Palmetto Asparagus roots, and they have given such 
great satisfaction that my friend, Mr. Oldfield, asks me to send for fifty 
for him.” W. T. BROWN, Muskogee, Okla.
