Emlonj's WASHINGTON R<ist-ProoF 
AS PARAGUS 
The Great Vitamin-Filled Food 
FOR GARDEN PLANTING 
No wonder the demand for this delicious vegetable increases 
every year! We now sell nearly a million roots compared with 
about one-fifth that number sold annually ten years ago. 
Asparagus comes with the first breath of spring, before other 
vegetables are even planted. Those big, tender, juicy, purplish- 
green tips are just pacl^ed full of health-giving vitamins. EVERY¬ 
ONE can eat Asparagus, regardless of age or health. Should be ■ 
served every day in season, and a liberal supply canned for 
year-around use. 100 to 250 roots supply the average family.

FOR FIELD PLANTING 
Before other crops are planted, you can be selling Asparagus, and 
find a ready market. Starts bearing in Michigan in May, and 
continues fully two months. A new fertilizer recommended by the 
Dept, of Agriculture keeps stalks tender long after the regular 
season. Fancy tips can be bunched and crated for market. Crooked 
tips used for home canning or sold in bulk to canning factories. 
WASHINGTON variety never rusts — every stalk is usable, and 
it’s the heaviest-producing strain known today. 
A SURE MONEY CROP 
Annual returns of $25 for each $1 invested in roots is reported by 
growers. One planting produces paying crops for 10 to 20 years. 
Requires very little work — just cut off old tops in August and 
cover rows with manure mulch in Fall. No danger of loosing your 
crop from late frosts. Tips are easy to market, as they are not 
highly perishable. 
5000 roots plant an acre. We recommend good one-year roots for 
large-scale plantings. FREE INSTRUCTIONS ON REQUEST.
