ARTICHOKE (FRENCH SEED) 
Two Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Seed breaks ground in about 7 days. One inch 
high in 15 days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. This plant may be grown from 
seed sown when the Cherry is in bloom or from suckers taken from established plants. If the seed be sown, 
the plants may be raised in beds and transplanted. The seedlings or sets should be planted out in rows at 
four feet apart and eighteen inches in the row. Success with Artichoke in the United States cannot be 
expected north of the Cotton Belt. 
LARGE GREEN GLOBE —The variety which is the most being grown to perfection in California. Heads green : elongated, 
popular on the market today. Thousands of acres are now and plants spiny. Pkt. 5c oz. 40c lb. $1.35 lb. $4.50 
ASPARAGUS (SEEDS AND ROOTS) 
Sow seed in temporary location and let stand for two years; Eight Ounces will plant 100 Yards of 
Row; or Fifteen Pounds per Acre. Set 4000 two-year-old Roots to the Acre. Seed breaks ground 
in about 15 days. One inch high in 19 days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. 
If roots are purchased, be sure and get large two-year-old. Do not waste time and money on small roots. 
Set them in trenches dug about 12 to 16 inches deep; then fill up with about 2 inches manure with two 
inches of earth on top of the manure, so that it will not burn the plants in any way. Then set the plants 18 
inches apart in the row, rows 4 to 5 feet apart, and cover them with about 3 inches of earth, and gradually 
work in earth during the Summer so that by Fall the trench will be level with the ground. When well 
planted, fertilized, and limed, a cutting of shoots can be made about three times the second year after 
planting, cutting oftener than this is injurious. 
MARY WASHINGTON SEED—(Is rustproof and sur¬ 
prisingly superior.) Originated at the Massachusetts Ex¬ 
perimental Station, the male plants bearing the name Wash¬ 
ington and the two female plants Martha and Mary, these 
three being the parents of this variety wherever sold. It is 
claimed that both are highly resistant to rust and blight. The 
shoots are long without branching; oval in the cross-section, 
dark green, tight buds and rather late in maturing. It will 
resist hot weather without blowing out. It is unquestionably 
the best Asparagus ever sold; a very large producer of extra¬ 
ordinarily good shoots. Pkt. 5c oz. 15c lb. 35c lb. 90c
