FOR SMALL BACK YARDS 
The demand for this delicious early spring vegetable 
increases annually. Over a million roots sold last year, 
compared to one-fifth that amount ten years ago! Those, 
big, tender, juicy, purplish-green stalks are packed full 
of health-giving vitamins. EVERYONE 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 table. 
You can start selling Asparagus before other crops are 
planted. Tips are ready in May and June in Michigan. 
New fertilizers keep stalks tender long after the regular 
season. Fancy tips can be bunched and crated for 
market. Crooked tips canned at home or sold to canning 
factories in bulk. WASHINGTON never rusts — 
every stalk is usable. Heaviest-producing strain 
grown today. 
A SURE-MONEY CROP 
Annual returns of $25 for each $1 invested in roots, 
reported by growers. One planting produces paying 
crops for 10 to 20 years with proper care. Requires very 
little work. Just cut off old tops before September first 
to keep the seed from dropping (as it would spoil the 
bed). Cover rows with manure mulch in Fall. No danger 
of losing your crop from late Spring 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. 
EMLONG’S ROOTS PAY BEST 
Because you get extra-quality at no extra cost! We 
plant new, high-test pedigreed seed every year. Our 
light, rich, well-drained soil produces long, white, 
sturdy roots which bear the quickest and largest 
crops.
