Tuckers' Quality Vegetable Seeds 
ASPARAGUS 
Can be grown in any good garden soil, but does best in sunny, moist soil. To grow plants from seed, sow in drills 
about one inch deep in rows one foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds; during the summer thin out 
and the following spring plants may be set in the permanent bed. Set the plants one foot apart each way, spreading the 
roots well apart. Clover with about three inches of soil. 
COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE—The immense shoots are clear white, and in 
favorable weather remain so until three or four inches above the surface. The 
crown or bud of the young stalk is considerably smaller than the part below it. 
Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 75c. 
NEW WASHINGTON—The rust-resistant variety. This variety originated with 
the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., after years of careful hybrid¬ 
izing and selection. Only vigorous-growing plants, free from rust, were used. 
Should be used on account of its disease resistant quality. It should prove a boon 
to market gardeners. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 75c. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Dig or plow a trench 15 to 18 inches deep, put in plenty of well rotted manure, covering it 
with a few inches of soil, then set the roots 1 % to 2 feet apart and cover with 4 inches of 
soil. In the fall, cut off and burn the top growth, and give a good application of stable manure. 
Early in the spring fork this in, and as the asparagus begins to grow, earth up to blanch the 
stalks as they grow. 
FOR FIELD CULTURE —The rows may be from 4 to 6 feet apart and the roots 
set one foot apart in the rows. A subsoil plow should be used to break the soil 
as deeply as possible.

middle of May, in a seed bed, and the plants after¬ 
wards set in rows, 2 feet or more apart, and culti¬ 
vated like Cabbage.

vate like Cabbage. Will endure considerable frost 
without injury.
