ASPARAGUS 
One ounce of seed will sow 75 feet of row and produce about 250 plants. 
From Seeds. Asparagus seed should be sown as early as possible in the 
spring. The plants should be set in the permanent bed either when one or 
two years old. The asparagus may be cut after two years. 
204 MARY WASHINGTON. The Best Variety. This is the best of 
the rust resistant strains and is the most widely used variety for home 
and market. The shoots are larger and grow more rapidly than other 
kinds. The stalks are very thick, and of an attractive deep green color 
with purple tops. Even the largest and thickest shoots of this variety 
are tender and delicious. Pkt. 10¢c; Oz. 25c; 144 Lb. 50c. 
From Roots. To start a bed it is only necessary to set out the roots 
on good soil and give them ordinary care to keep weeds down, etc. The 
land should be plowed or spaded deep and worked down well and should 
be enriched by plowing or spading in a heavy dressing of manure. The 
roots are set out 18 to 24 inches apart in rows about 4 feet apart. 
Harris’ Freth Dug Reots 
No asparagus you can buy can possibly compare with the fresh succulent 
shoots right out of your garden, and it is surprisingly easy to grow. The 
most important thing is to start with really good, fresh dug roots of high 
quality. We sell only the finest roots, selected for size and vigor and all the 
small or stunted roots are discarded. With Harris’ fresh dug roots it is no 
trouble to have a fine asparagus bed. 
100 roots willsupply plenty of asparagus for an average family but more 
should be planted for a large family. Well grown one year roots are the 
most satisfactory to establish a permanent bed. A small cutting, not more 
than two weeks, may be made the second year after setting the roots, and 
the bed may be cut all spring in the third year. 
One year roots only: Doz. $1.00; 50 roots $2.50; 100 roots $4.00 
transportation paid. Not paid: 500 roots $9.50; 1000 roots $18.00 (weight 
500—35 Ibs.; 1000—70 lbs.). 
BEANS 
A packet of bush beans will plant 20 feet of row; a pound 150 feet. Sow 60 to 75 lbs. per acre. 
1 lb. is equal to a pint; 2 lbs. is 1 qt.; 15 lbs. is a peck. 
At the prices here quoted, we prepay transportation charges on beans to places in the United States. 
For larger quantities, write for special prices. 
The varieties which we offer here have been selected as the best for quality and yield. Our stocks are grown from 
true clean seed, carefully rogued and hand picked. You cannot buy finer seed beans. 
Grow plenty of beans: “Snap” or “‘string”’ beans are one of the most satisfactory things to grow in the home 
garden. They require little work and take up little room to easily oe all the fresh beans required for summer 
use and for canning. 
Plant in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, dropping the seed 2 inches apart, or in groups of 3 to 4 at intervals of a foot 
in the row which makes hoeing easier. Do not plant until the ground is warm. In New York State and New England. 
May 10th to 20th is early enough. Better make a small planting every two or three weeks and you will have fresh 
beans right up till frost.
