Asparagus 
Asparagus is a long-term project, but like anything else worth while it repays 
patience handsomely. An established bed will last for many years, each 
new crop repaying with interest the initiative that started it going. The 
cutting season continues for 7 to 8 weeks, beginning very early in the spring. 
Mary Washington has replaced all other varieties of asparagus because the 
shoots are larger, thicker, and more uniform. This variety is practically 
immune to rust and other diseases. The delicious flavor and tenderness of 
the dark green shoots are unsurpassed, and their straight, tall growth makes 
them most attractive.

weeds eliminated. A packet produces about 200 roots, an ounce, 750. First 
cuttings may be made the third season.
