ASPARAGUS 
Here is a universal favorite with every 
housewife and with the family she feeds. 
Breaking the ground in early spring and 
producing succulent green stalks, for many 
weeks, this delicious vegetable crop should 
be in every victory gardener’'s plot. It is 
easily grown and produces its tender stalks

roots will amply supply the average family. 
From Seed: For best germination results, 
soak seed 24 hours before planting. Plant- 
ings should be in rows 18 inches apart with 
the seed scattered 15 to 20 to the inch, 
thinned later to 1 inch apart. Cover seed 
to depth of 2 inches, cultivate young plants 
frequently and allow full growth of shoots 
the first year. 
From Roots: In a deep, well fertilized seed 
bed set plant 6 inches deep and 6 inches 
apart with rows 4 feet apart. Cultivate to 
keep free of weeds and as plants 
develop hill-up the rows. Cut and 
burn all top growth in fall.

Beans, Bountiful Green Pod 
BEANS 
Responding quickly to a dry, warm, well 
prepared soil, this crop delights the heart of 
the gardener. Green beans and wax beans 
—in bush and pole varieties—they give a 
succession of satisfying performances to the 
most inexperienced of growers and loaded 
vines in mass production to the market gar- 
dener. They supply large amounts of vita- 
min A. Plantings should begin after all 
danger of frost is past and continue at two 
week intervals until mid-summer. Plant in 
rows which are 2 to 3 feet apart and with 
plants 6 inches apart in rows. 
Quality in fine beans is measured by the 
flavor and the lack of fibre in the pod. Lago 
Brand bean varieties are hand picked for 
these qualities and for productiveness.

early planted varieties. They yield
