MICHELL’S VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ARTICHOKE 
Artichaut (Fr.) Artichoke 
Articiocca (Ital.) 
One ounce will produce about 500 plants. 
(Ger.) 
Sow seed in January in the greenhouse, or 
in hotbeds in March. Transplant when large 
enough, in rows 3 feet apart, 2 feet apart in 
the row. Protect the plants in winter by tak- 
ing them in a cellar or putting in a cold frame; 
may be left outdoors if protected by straw or 
leaves. 
Green Globe. Pkt., 15c 
; YW oz., 45c}; oz., 80c. 
ASPARAGUS 
(Fr.) Spargel 
Sparagio (Ital.) 
Sow 5 pounds per acre for roots, or 
1 ounce to 50 feet. 
Asperge (Ger.) 
A well cared for Asparagus bed improves 
with age and lasts for many years. It may be 
established from seed, but much time is saved 
by planting roots. Seeds should be sown thinly 
in early spring in rows 1 to 2 feet apart. Thin 
out the weakest plants so the remainder will 
be 4 inches apart. When one or two years old, 
transplant in the permanent bed in rows 3 feet 
apart, setting the roots 1 to 114 feet apart, 
from where it can be cut three years later.

Nitrogen Bacteria for Beans 
If you want your Bean-patch to yield earlier 
and better, innoculate the seed before planting 
with Nitrogen Bacteria. When ordering, be sure 
to specify if wanted for garden Beans, as each 
leguminous crop requires a separate culture. 
If you want your Bean-patch to yield 
earlier and better, inoculate the seed be- 
fore planting with LEGUME-AID. When 
ordering, be sure to specify if wanted for 
garden Beans, as each leguminous crop re- 
quires a separate culture. See page 91. 


Pole or Running Beans 
One pound of seed will plant 150 to 200 hills; 
about 20 pounds, an acre 
Haricots a rames (Fr.) Stangenbohnen (Ger.)

When all danger of frost or cold nights is 
over, plant in hills 4 feet apart each way, about 
4 or 5 Beans to the hill, eyes downward and 
when up and established, thin out to 3 plants 
in a hill. One planting usually lasts for the 
season.

ommended for the garden and wherever Pole 
Beans grow. It is stringless, resistant to

Prices quoted on Beans are prepaid in quan- 
tities up to 5 pounds to the First and Second 
Zones; for other Zones, see Parcel Post table 
on page |. Larger quantities shipped at pur- 
chaser’s expense. 
Pole Varieties 
Two pounds will plant 100 hills; 25 to 30 
pounds, an acre 
Plant when all danger of frost or cold nights 
is over, with the eye of the Bean down. Put a 
liberal number in a hill, as this is cheaper than 
replanting. When up and established, thin out 
to 3 or 4 plants in a hill. The poles should be 
set as soon as the garden is made, in rows 
about 3 feet apart with the poles about 3 feet 
apart in the row. It is a good plan to put a 
small shovelful of well-rotted cow-manure in 
each hill when the poles are set, so the Beans, 
when started, will make rapid growth and ma- 
ture early. 
Carpinteria. 88 days. Retains its green color 
in all stages of growth, even after being 
dried, and combines wonderful prolificness, 
flavor, and size. A good early variety with
