PLANT a VEGETABLE GARDEN 
Our catalog' describes all of the best* standard varieties and the newer kinds that 
have become popular. 
It is surprising how small a piece of ground is needed to supply a family of average 
size with fresh vegetables through the whole season. A piece of ground, say thirty by 
forty feet, will do it. There are many sorts of vegetables that pay to grow at home. In 
comparison with the ridiculously small cost, the return surely does warrant the effort. 
ASPARAGUS 
CULTURE—Seed planting—Asparagus may be sown from seed and a crop obtained in 
three years. In the early Spring sow the seed after soaking it for 24 hours in warm 
water, in drills one foot apart and one inch deep. The following Spring select the best 
plant and place in a permanent bed. Root Planting—One year may be saved by buying the 
olants and setting them at least two feet in the row and the rows nofl closer than four 
feet; see that the roots are well and evenly spread out and are not left exposed to the air.
