FOR MARKET GARDENERS | 
Every successful market grower realizes the tremendous importance quality seeds play in the production of profitable crops. The 
market gardener who makes his livelihood from the sale of the produce grown cannot afford to sow seeds of doubtful value. He must 
have highly bred strains carefully selected from vigorous parent plants that show all the typical characteristics of the true variety. They 
must be full of vigor and vitality to make a sturdy growth from the start. More than three generations of market growers have realized 
that they can depend on PRICE’S to supply them with the finest in Vegetable Seeds. 
Our list of varieties includes the choicest strains of all the best standard sorts but we recommend making thorough trials of the 
many new varieties because they have proved superior in many sections. Higher yields, better qual- 
ity, and disease resistance are important factors

Asparagus Roots 
Set out in April—Fresh dug—Not cold storage roots 
Dig or plow out a trench 15 to 18 inches deep, put in 
plenty of well-rotted manure, covering it with a few inches 
of soil, then set the roots 1% to 2 feet apart and cover 
with 4 inches of soil. In the Fall, cut off and burn the top 
growth, plow or throw down the earth and give a good 
application of stable manure. Early in the Spring fork 
this in and apply ground animal bone. If White Asparagus 
is wanted draw earth around the stalks as they grow.

plants. 100 roots plant about 15x50 feet, 5,000 to 7,000 
_ will plant an acre.
