ASPARAGUS 
A leaflet on "The Planting and Care of 
Asparagus" sent with every order. 
One ounce of seed will produce 200 plants; 
5 lbs. will sow an acre. 
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. Soak the seed in warm water for 
24 hours, then sow an inch deep in rows a 
foot apart. The following spring set the best 
of the plants in the permanent bed. 
MARY WASHINGTON. This new variety is the

stalks 1 to 2 inches in diameter. It is larger 
and earlier than Pedigreed Washington, and 
the stalks are slightly oval in form.

The small heads, resembling cabbage, are 
formed along the stalk. Prepare like cabbage

spring; transplant and cultivate same as cab¬ 
bage, except leaves should be broken down in 
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.

same as cauliflower.

and July for a fall crop. Pkg. 10c; 'A oz.. 
35c; oz. 50c; Va lb. $1.75. 
Dust Your Seed with ROOTONE 
It does two things. The Rootone remains on 
the seed until the seed sprouts and then it acts 
to kill the fungi, and at the same time slowly 
penetrates the seed hull and helps the natural 
hormones start root formation and upward 
growth. Rootone makes larger and more abun¬ 
dant roots that make larger and better plants. 
A 10-cent package of Rootone will treat 2'/ 2 
lbs. of seed.
