SPARAGUS (eee 
EARLIEST AND MOST PROFITABLE VEGETABLE 
- One Planting Lasts Many Years / 
EVERYONE CAN EAT Asparagus, regardless of age or health. It’s a mild, non-starchy, vitamin- 
filled vegetable which should be served daily when in season, and canned in generous amounts for 
year-round use. 100 to 250 roots will provide amply for the average family. WE FURNISH HOME 
CANNING DIRECTIONS UPON REQUEST. ALSO COMPLETE CULTURAL DIRECTIONS UPON RE- 
QUEST. It’s so easy to grow, there’s just no reason for not having it in your own yard. 
ONE PLANTING LASTS 12 TO 20 YEARS! With proper care, an investment of $2.00 in Asparagus 
! roots will bring you returns of 300 to 500%. In the garden the roots may be set,12 inches apart. 
} In the field, rows should be 4 to 5 feet apart, and roots spaced 12 inches apart in the row. Asparagus 
requires practically no care. There’s no frost-hazard, so you’re sure of a crop every year. 
THERE’S NO WASTE in Asparagus. The few crooked tips taste fine at home, and are taken by 
canners. The straight tips can be bunched to sell at fancy prices. Packaging cost is almost nothing, 
and it’s not perishable. 
PLANT THE BEST ROOTS! Don’t try to save a few cents on the small planting cost of Asparagus 
roots. It pays to get the best. EMLONG’S ASPARAGUS ROOTS are all grown on light, fertile, well- 
drained soil which insures big-caliper roots that are bright-coloréd and solid all the way through. 
Avoid old hollow roots grown on low, wet ground—they would never give satisfaction. We have 
grown these roots for years, and know how to serve you to your 100% satisfaction. We use only the 
most expensive pedigreed seed to insure the finest strain of tips on the market. This is important 
to you. ASPARAGUS CROWNS SHOULD BE PLANTED IN THE SPRING, DURING MARCH, APRIL 
OR MAY. ORDER TODAY SO THAT WE CAN RESERVE YOUR NEEDS. (Note the discounts available 
in January, February and March—see page 3).
