“Ye Reap What Ye Sow” 3 

ASPARAGUS SEED 
One Ounce will produce about 200 roots; 8 Ibs. will produce enough 
roots for one acre. 
Sow the seed in the Spring, in rows about 18 inches apart, using 
about 15 to 20 seeds to a foot of row, cover with about one inch of 
soil. By the following Spring the roots will be ready for setting 
in the permanent bed. : 
MARY WASHINGTON RUST-PROOF—Has proved to possess remark- 
able rust-resisting qualities. Produces long, straight stalks of a 
rich green color running darker at the tips. While it has the 
thickness desired in Asparagus, you will find it tender and delicious. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c3 % Ib. 35c;3 Ib. $1.00. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Asparagus roots are planted in trenches 1 foot wide and 6 inches 
eep. Lay the roots 18 inches apart, taking care to spread the 
roots well with the crown up. Then cover them with about 4 
inches of soil. As the plants begin to grow, gradually fill in the 
trenches to the surface. They may be planted in either single-row 
or double-row beds, allowing about 3 to 4 feet between beds in 
either case, 2-year-old plants, set out in the Spring, will yield tips 
for use the following Spring; however, it is best to cut sparingly 
the first season. One-year-old plants should not be cut until the 
second season. 25c per doz.; $1.25 per 100; $11.00 per 1000.
