VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ASPARAGUS 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 lbs. per acre. 
When starting an Asparagus bed from seed, it is advis¬ 
able to soak the seed for 24 hours before planting. This 
rnakes 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 Sum¬ 
mer. The plants will be ready to set in a permanent bed the 
following Spring. 
MARY WASHINGTON. A strain selected from Martha 
Washington. It is a little earlier and more vigorous than the 
original. The shoots are slightly ovoid in shape, firm and 
tender and richly flavored. Pkt. 5e; oz. 15e; 1/4 lb. 35e; 1 lb. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
BEANS 
Dwarf beans, 1 lb. to 100 ft., 50 to 60 lbs. per acre. 
Pole beans, 1 lb. to 100 ft., 30 to 35 lbs. per acre. 
Lima beans, 1 lb. to 100 ft., 30 to 50 lbs. per acre. 
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 1/2 fo 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 off. For succession, plant every 2 weeks 
until midsummer. Frequent picking of the crop insures long 
bearing.
