\ CD \D ATI TC DT A MTQ Due to the superior quality of the Improved 
HIx/WjUO 10 Mary Washington Strain of Giant Wash¬ 
ington we have discontinued the growing of all other varieties of Asparagus. The plants 
we have to offer are choice one-year-old plants. We always recommend one-year-old 
Asparagus plants, for in addition to costing less than tw T o-year-old plants, they come into 
bearing just as soon and are a more satisfactory size for transplanting. Asparagus plants 
should be set 18 inches apart.
