Mary Washington Asparagus 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
A leaflet on the "Planting and Care of 
Asparagus" sent with every order. 
The popularity of Asparagus in the home 
garden is growing rapidly, as people learn 
how easily it may be raised, and how much 
better the flavor is when cooked immediate¬ 
ly after cutting. Asparagus begins to lose 
flavor 20 minutes after being taken from 
the ground. A small bed 12 feet wide and 
25 feet long will hold 100 plants and yield 
sufficient Asparagus for the family of ordi¬ 
nary size. 
Mary Washington. This new variety is the very 
finest for the home garden or to grow for 
market. At last we have not only a rust¬ 
proof variety but an Asparagus that is very 
fast growing, exceedingly tender, of excel¬ 
lent flavor, and that produces heavy stalks 
1 to 2 inches in diameter. It is larger and 
earlier than Pedigreed Washington, and the 
stalks are slightly oval in form. 
STRONG LARGE ROOTS. Large-crowned, 
healthy, the most satisfactory for planting 
either in the home garden or for market. 
25 for 75c; 100 for $2.00, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 1000 for $10.00.

formed along the stalk. Prepare like cabbage 
or in cream, like cauliflower. Sow seed in 
spring; transplant and cultivate same as cab¬

fall, giving heads more room to grow. Freezing 
improves the quality of the sprouts. They may 
be left in the ground, here in the North, until 
December.

plants when ground is warm. Cultivate the 
same as cauliflower.

vegetable with the Italians and now becom¬ 
ing very popular in our American gardens.

these are cut, other heads form, providing 
fresh vegetables for a long season. Sow early 
in cold frames for spring; outdoors in June 
and July for a fall crop. Pkg. 10c; V 2 oz.,
