Asparagus” sent with every order. 
One ounce of seed will produce 200 plants; 
5 Ibs. 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 immediately 
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 
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 
excellent 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.

THE BEST 
IN TABLE BEETS 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of 
row; 1 ounce, 50 feet; 9 to 10 pounds, an acre. 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich 
sahdy loam. Sow seed.1 inch deep, in drills 16 
inches apart, as early as possible. If wanted 
very early, sow Detroit Dark Red and Crosby’s 
Egyptian in hotbeds and transplant to open 
ground. Thin to stand 3 to 4 inches apart. Cul- 
tivate cleanly and thoroughly. For succession, 
sow at intervals until middle of July. 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
This is the best kind to grow when you 
want to use beets when very small, say 
up to 2 inches in diameter. 
Our special strain of this popular variety is 
better in many respects than the old one. It is 
globular, perfectly smooth, with short top, 
small tap-root, and both skin and flesh dark 
in color. Much earlier than all other dark- 
fleshed varieties. That it is the very best early 
Beet for home or market gardens is amply 
proved by the many favorable comments that 
come to us. Pkg. 10c; oz. 30c; 1% Ib. 90c. 
DETROIT DARK RED BEET 
Hart & Vick Strain 
For canning either whole, sliced or 
cubed when the bulbs are over 2 inches 
in diameter this strain of Detroit is by 
far the best. 
The most popular table and canning Beet 
grown. As a second-early variety, we recom- 
mend it for the home and market garden. 
Our special strain is more uniform in shape and 
color than the old Detroit Dark Red. The tops 
and tap-roots are small and the leaves dark 
green, shaded red. Beets are round, smooth, 
and very dark red in skin and flesh. In tender- 
ness and sweetness they are unsurpassed. Pkg. 
10c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 90c. 
Early Blood Turnip. Large dark red _ bulbs, 
turnip-shaped, of very good quality, with tall 
orang tore tops RKgal Oc ozs 25¢%_ 1

Early Wonder. Tops are medium short and the 
Beet is round with skin and flesh lighter 
than Detroit. Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c; VY Ib. 75c. 
Sow beet seed thickly in a broad row. Thin 
out and use the tops and small beets as greens. 
Crosby’s Egyptian is the best early beet, Detroit 
the best for the fall garden.

dairyman who does not feed them. The average 
ield is 45 tons to the acre. They are easily 
Powered: not a particle of waste to them, and 
may be stored in pit and root cellar with little 
trouble. Sow 8 pounds to the acre in May or 
June, in drills 2 feet apart, and thin to 10 
inches in the row.
