Henderson’s Palmetto Asparagus 
Larger, Earlier, More Uniform in Size, More Prolific and Disease- 
Resisting than any Other 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 lor 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 Ameri¬ 
can 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 13p£ 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 varities have entirely failed. (See engraving .)

“l wish you could see. my two Palmetto Asparagus beds grown from

and fine and of fine flavor. ”

Dalkeith Brussels Sprouts 
A very excellent selection of this estimable vegetable, far too little 
known to American gardeners. Sown in June in the latitude of New 
York, it produces an abundant crop of Sprouts —solid, succulent and 
delicious — in the falland early winter. 
It is hardier than Cabbage, 
just as easily grown, and 
available long after all 
other green vege¬ 
tables are gone. 
Cultural directions 
are given in Cab¬
