BRAEGER'S TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS 
-M- 
We select our Vegetable seeds with great care, offering only those kinds that will give you great 
satisfaction. Our seeds are germination tested. There are no better to be had. Whether you plant a few 
packets or are a market gardener we can please you. 
ARTICHOKE 
Seed may be planted during March or April in a bed arranged 
so that the young plants can be given protection until danger 
of frost is past. When large enough to transplant, they should 
be set in rows about 4 feet apart and about 2 feet apart in the 
row. In localities where Winter temperatures are not severe, 
such plants will produce a crop of buds the second year. 
Where Winters are severe, they must be mulched with a 
heavy dressing of leaves or straw to protect the crowns. 
Green Globe. Plants of medium height with large thistle¬ 
like medium deep green foliage. The edible buds or flower 
heads are deep green, globe-shaped or ovoid. The fleshy bud 
scales, moderately broad and full at base, are regarded as a 
delicacy. Pkt. 5c. 
ASPARAGUS 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 5 lbs. per acre. 
When starting an Asparagus bed from seed, it is advisable 
to soak the seed for 24 hours before planting. This makes 
germination more rapid and certain. Sow in Spring in rows 
about 18 inches apart, allowing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. 
Cover 2 inches deep. When plants are well established, thin 
to about an inch apart. Hoe frequently during the Summer. 
The plants will be ready to set in a permanent bed the follow¬ 
ing Spring. 
Mai’y Washington. A strain selected from Martha Washing¬ 
ton. It is a little earlier and more vigorous than the original. 
The shoots are slightly ovoid in shap^, firm and tender and 
richly flavored. Rust-proof. Pkt. 5c. 
BEANS 
Dwarf beans, 1 lb. to 100 fet., 60 lbs. per acre. 
Pole beans, Yz lb. to 100 ft.. 30 lbs. per aere. 
Plant Beans after all danger of frost is past, in warm, dry, 
well prepared soil. The rows should be 2 to 3 feet apart and 
the seeds covered 1% to 2 inches deep. Thin the young plants 
to 3 to 6 inches apart in the rows. 
Shallow cultivation should be frequent until blossoming; 
then stop to avoid injury to the roots. Root injury causes the 
blossoms to fall. For succession, plant every 2 weeks until 
midsummer. Frequent picking of the crop insures long bear¬ 
ing. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50. Postpaid.
