ASPARAGUS 
ASPARAGUS CULTURE: Plant seed early in the spring after soak- 
ing the same for about twenty-four hours in warm water. Plant in 
drills one foot apart at least one inch deep. The following spring 
select the best roots and plant in a permanent bed. It takes three 
years to grow an asparagus bed from seed, two years from one-year- 
old roots. One ounce of seed will sow a 100-foot row producing about 
300 plants. Five pounds of seed are required for an acre. 
* 6 MARY WASHINGTON GIANT RUST PROOF. The 
result of years of breeding and selecting by the United States Bureau of 
Plant Industry. The stalks are larger and more tender than those of 
other varieties and apparently immune to rust. Mary Washington as-

ers. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c; % Ib., 35c; 1b., $1.00, postpaid.

OLDS’ HAND PICKED GARDEN 
SNAP BEANS 
CULTURE: Sow the bush varieties as soon 
as the ground is warm and the season favorable. 
Plant in rows 2 feet apart, the beans 2 inches 
apart in the row and 1% inches deep. For pole 
beans use poles 8 to 10 feet long and set them 
Plant 4 to 6 beans about 
one inch deep around each pole and later thin 
to three plants to a pole. One pound will plant 
50 to 75 feet of drill, 75 pounds one acre. Our 
packets contain enough seed to plant 10 to 15 
feet of drill. 
‘3 Beans thrive best in a sandy loam but grow 
(54 days.) A very well in any soil. Keep well hoed, drawing 
the earth up to the stems. Do not work when 
the plants are wet as this will cause rust and 
Plant every two weeks for 
succession, For larger amounts than quoted,
