ASPARAGUS 
One ounce of seed ra sow Ze feet of row and produce ebeut 250 plants. 
ow seed as early as possible in the spring. e 
From Seeds plants should be set in the permanent bed when one 
or two years old. The Asparagus may be cut the third year after setting 
out the roots. 
1. WASHINGTON—The Best Variety, This variety has proven as 
nearly rust-proof as is possible to produce Asparagus. It is much in 
demand on account of its heavy yield and fine flavor. The stalks are 
rich, dark green color, tinted darker at tips. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c. 
Roots can be set from Feb- 
-Fresh Dug Asparagus Roots ruary to May, or in the fall, 
in October or November. 100 roots plant a bed 100 feet long and 
are sufficient for a medium garden. An acre requires 4000 
to 7000 roots. 
WASHINGTON. (Rust-resistant.) A new rust-resisting, pedigreed 
Asparagus. It stands ahead of all others in size, vigor, tenderness and 
quality. 2-yr. roots, 25 for 75c; 100 for $2.25, postpaid. 
GROWING ASPARAGUS. The size of Asparagus depends more on 
high fertilization than on the variety. Well-drained, rich soil is best. 
Plow or dig out a trench 18 inches wide, 6 to 10 inches deep, making the 
trenches 6 to 8 feet apart. In the bottom of the furrow use 4 to 6 inches 
of well-rotted manure, then cover with 2 or 3 inches of good soil. The 
roots are set 12 to 15 inches apart, and should be spread out carefully 
and afterwards covered with about 2 inches of soil. Do not cover with 
too much soil the first year, but the following years they can be hilled 
up. If white Asparagus is wanted the beds should be thrown higher than 
if wanted for green Asparagus. Do not cut Asparagus too late in the 
spring, as it exhausts the plant. In November the tops are cut off and 
a mulch of manure put on the top of the rows. 
BEANS Dwarf or Bush Varieties 
If planted every 2 or 3 weeks, commencing after all danger of frost 
has passed and continuing until about August 15th, a supply will be kept 
up during the whole summer. 
One pound plants about 100 feet. An acre requires 1 to 11% bushels. 
Half pound planted every 3 weeks is sufficient for a medium garden. 
They are ready for table from 40 to 50 days after planting. 
Culture. For field culture plant in rows 214 feet apart, dropping the 
Beans 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows, covering about 2 inches with soil. 
In small gardens, rows may be 18 inches apart. Up to the time of bloom- 
ing, cultivate often, but never while the vines are wet, and do not 
disturb the roots, especially after blooming, as they will blight and the 
crop will be reduced. Constant picking extends bearing. 
Insect Remedies—For Mexican Bean Beetle, dust the under side of 
leaves with Rotenone. See page 61. 
For fungous diseases and rust, spray with Bordeaux Mixture.
