Palmetto Asparagus 
Larger, Earlier, More Uniform in Size, More Prolific and Disease- 
Resisting than any Other Asparagus Grown :: 
HENDERSON S PALMETTO ASPARAGUS 
—=DALKEITH — 
BKUSSELS SPKOUTS 
A very excellent selection of this estimable vegetable, far too little kmown to 
American gardeners. Sown in June in the latitude of Is’ew York, it produces an 
abundant crop of Sprouts — solid, succulent and delicious — in the fall and early 
winter. It is hardier than Cabbage, just as easily grown, and available long after 
all other green vegetables are gone. (Sec cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c.

Asparagus, the most appreciated of early spring vegetables, 
has been grown and prized for its succulent tenderness 
and delicious flavor from time immemorial. 
In various countries various types and strains are extolled 
and offered, all of which we have growm and thoroughly 
tested, but — in the American climate at least — Henderson's 
Palmetto is the king of all Asparagus. It is superior in every way; 
larger, earlier, a strong, quick grower, a more prolific and 
continuous yielder; the stalks large and uniform under ordi¬ 
nary culture, average nearly an inch in diameter, retaining 
their thickness up to their plump tips. The usual bunches 
of 15 shoots measure 13 i inches in circumference and weigh 
about 2 pounds. For quality Henderson’s Palmetto is peerless, 
meltingly tender and full of delicious flavor. The Palmetto is 
equally adapted to all sections North and South; it is less 
susceptible to the Asparagus disease than any other variety 
and has continued to yield profitable crops in sections where 
plantations of other varieties have been entirely destroyed. 
Asparagus may be grown in almost any soil or situation, but 
special success is attained in thoroughly enriched, deeply dug 
sandy loam. Beds cared for improve with age, lasting for 
man}" years. Asparagus may be grown from seed, but as it 
should not be cut before it is three or four years old, time 
is saved by buying and planting roots. (See cut.)

“/ wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation ot the results ob¬ 
tained from Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus. The first roots from you are 
now being cut for the second season, aiid I can say that I have received the 
largest and finest in this whole section, as can be attested by one of our foremost 
hucksters in this market, J. A. Staughter. Most all stalks cut weigh from 3 
to 6 oz. each and 1 inust say that the strain is better than you claifn. 1 hoPc 
to be able to go in for quite a good field in the next few years, and I am gradually 
adding each year. Fou will find enclosed a photo of a stalk cut May 23 d. How 
much larger do they grow?" REGINALD KEITH, Richmond, Va. 
" 1 am adding to my Asparagris bed an extension of 10 x 15 . Will you kindly 
send 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. 
“/ bought 50 three-year-old Palmetto Asparagus roots and they have given 
such good satisfaction that my friend Mr. Oldfield asked me to send for 60 for 
him.". W. T. BROWN, Muskogee, Okla,
