SOWING OF ASPARAGUS SEED 
Seed should be sown as early as possible in the spring 
so as to give the plants a long growing season. The 
roots may be transplanted the following spring or may 
be left in the ground another year to be transplanted as 
two year olds. 
1 ounce should produce 250 roots.

PLANTING OF ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
For covenience in cultivation, we suggest planting 
Asparagus Roots in rows. Dig a trench 8 to 10 inches 
deep and at least 1 foot wide. Place | inch of top soil 
in the bottom of the trench; well rotted manure may 
be mixed with this soil. Then pack firmly by tramping. 
We are now ready for the roots. Unpack and trim 
off all broken or bruised roots. Spread the roots out 
evenly in the bottom of the trench with crown or buds 
up. Cover and pack with top soil until the crowns are 
covered to a depth of 2 inches. As the plants grow, fill 
in the trench until it is level. Rows should be 4 feet 
apart; roots 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. 
A very light cutting may be made the second season 
after the roots are planted but it is not advisable to 
make normal cuttings until the following year.

PLENTIFUL: 48 days, 70 seeds per oz. A green flat- 
podded variety, much like Bountiful; however, the 
pods are longer and larger and very attractive. The 
only criticism that we have is the glazed appearance 
in contrast with the velvety texture of Bountiful.

BOUNTIFUL: 49 days, 65 seeds per oz. The most 
popular green podded snap bean for the markets that 
demand a flat podded variety. It is early and ships 
well. The long, flat, light green pod grows from 6% 
to 7 inches in length. The pod is rather thin walled 
and not of the best quality. We do not recommend 
Bountiful for home use or canning. Pkt. 10 cts.;

have never found a bush snap bean that equals 
Tendergreen for quality. The pods are 6 to 7 inches 
long, smooth, round as a pencil, entirely stringless, 
light green color and very meaty. A good canning
