Asparagus 
ASPARAGUS 
We cannot imagine any 
plant more easily grown 
than Asparagus, its chief 
requirement being a deep, 
fertile soil. When grown 
commercially, Asparagus is 
planted in rows 8 to 4 feet 
and 12 to 18 inches apart in 
the row. When grown for 
home use, it may be plant- 
ed in a bed or border. 
We grow and offer exclu- 
sively the New,Pedigreed 
WASHINGTON Variety, 
which is resistant to rust. 
100 plants will furnish

Herbs and Garden Roots 
In Colonial Days the average American home considered its Herb Garden just 
as important and essential as the Vegetable Garden, but the Herb Garden has grad- 
ually been neglected, and until recently, almost forgotten—the housewife depend- 
ing on the grocery store shelves for food seasonings and extracts, many of which 
were imported from foreign countries. The war suddenly cut off the source of 
supply, reviving American interest in Herb and Vegetable Gardening. A supply of 
choice herbs in the home enables the housewife to convert into wholesome dishes 
many foods which otherwise would not be consumed. It is not only economy to 
grow Herbs for the table, but convenient and a source of satisfaction. 
CHIVES. Mild, Onion-like flavor. Used for soups and salads. 
HORSERADISH.. Well known, popular seasoning for meits and used as a relish.

PEPPERMINT. Leaves and tender tops used for cooling drinks and for flavoring.

Also a very popular commercial crop. 
TARRAGON. Used in salads and in making vinegar. Delicious in jello and 
fruit cups. 
THYME. Seasoning plant and also a lovely ground cover frequently planted in

NUT TREES 
At one time the wild, native nuts, in an assortment of varieties, could be har- 
vested in almost all timbered sections of the East, but this is no longer possible. 
The American Sweet Chestnut was wiped out by the Chestnut blight. The American 
Shellbark Hickory Nut has been cut for wood and even the American Black Walnut 
—which is one of the most valuable timber trees—has been practically eliminated 
as a native tree. So if we are to enjoy native nuts, it is necessary to cultivate them, 
just as we are now cultivating fruits and farm crops. 
BLACK WALNUT. Of course, every planter is familiar with the Native Black 



RHUBARB 
It would be difficult to 
conceive a garden vegeta- 
ble offering more food 
value for the cost and ef- 
fort than Rhubarb, which 
prefers a deep, fertile soil 
but requires very little at- 
tention. Produces delicious 
food in the early Spring 
when garden vegetables are 
paragus tips for six weeks 
in early Spring.

Walnut. However, not all are familiar with the possibilities that the culture of 
the Black Walnut offers. As a timber proposition, Black Walnut culture is ex- 
tremely profitable, especially when planted on land where it can be left to grow 
and at the same time used as pasture, as the Black Walnut does not interfere with 
the grass, which thrives under the trees, and when established, the trees make 
good shade for livestock, which does not injure them. We offer root pruned, 
transplanted trees as follows: 2-3 ft. 75c. each, $7.50 per doz., $60.00 per 100; 3-4 
ft. $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz., $75.00 per 100; 4-6 ft. $1.50 each, $15.00 per doz.;

BLACK WALNUT, THOMAS IMPROVED. Grafted. Large, thin shell, early 
bearing strain. 3-4 ft. $3.00 each, $30.00 per doz. 
ENGLISH WALNUT. As a commercial crop proposition, the English Walnut ranks at the top, 
being one of the nuts which can be profitably grown commercially in this section. Further 
description is not necessary as the English Walnuts we offer are the same as the Pacific Coast 
grown found in local grocery stores. They apparently thrive just as well here 
as in any other section where they are a profitable commercial crop. Now 
being planted in this area both commercially and for home use. We offer 
the Virginia Thin Shell variety. 18-24 in. $1.50 each, $8.25 per 6, $15.00 per 
doz.; 2-3 ft. $2.25 each, $12.50 per 6, $22.50 per doz.; 3-4 ft. $3.00 each, 
$16.50 per 6, $30.00 per doz.

tree planted for both 
the nuts and ornamen- 
taleffect. 3-4 {t. $2.50 - 
each, $25.00 per doz.; 
4-5 ft. $3.00 each. 
scarce. We offer the Vic- 
toria, which has enormous 
long stalks of cherry red 
color; very tender. Plant

PECANS 
Virginia is located in the northern end of the Pecan growing section and its culture is not 
recommended here or north of Virginia as a commercial crop but almost every home owner de- 
sires afew trees for supplying home requirements possibly using same for shade and ornamental 
effect. Of course our customers south of Virginia plant Pecans for both commercial and home use. 
There are many varieties of Pecans but we attempt to offer only carefully selected, satis- 
factory varieties in the area we serve. a ae Es ie 
MAHAN. New, early bearing variety; largest of all. Frequently reported to start bearing in3or 
4 yrs. after being transplanted. Quality the best. 4-6 ft. $5.50 ea., $30.00 per 6, $56.00 per doz. 
PAPER SHELL. Medium to large, thin shell, nuts of good quality; one of most satisfactory for 
this area. 2-3 ft. $1.75 each, $17.50 per doz.; 3-4 ft. $2.25 each, $25.00 per doz. 
STUART. Possibly the best known and most extensively planted of all Pecans because of its 
adaptability to a wide range of culture. Can be grown in the deep south and as far north as 
any of the southern varieties. As the Mahan becomes better known, it is gaining rapidly on 
Stuart in popularity. 3-4 ft. $3.00 each, $33.00 per doz.; 4-5 ft. $3.75 each, $38.00 per doz.
