ASPARAGUS 
WASHINGTON—Rust-resistant As- 
paragus. Practically free from rust 
and other diseases. Stalks are large 
and thick; dark green with a heavy 
overcast of rich purple. Has a long, 
tight, pointed bud and does not branch 
out until well beyond the market 
height. Unsurpassed in size, yield, ap- 
pearance and flavor. 
Seed pkt., 10c; oz., 15¢; 4 Ib., 35c. 
GARDEN BEANS 
Given moisture, this crop can be planted in 
the South in succession until the middle of 
August. A good, sandy loam is the best soil of 
average richness. 
The bush varieties should be planted 114 inches 
deep in drills, 18 inches or 2 feet apart, 2 inches 
apart in the drill. The pole variety should be 
planted two or three beans in a hill, two feet 
apart each way. Give them clean cultivation, 
mellowing the soil about them, but not going 
too deep. Do not hoe them when wet from dew 
or rain, as this induces rust of leaves or pods. 
A pound will plant 100 feet of drill; 2 
bushels, or 120 lbs. to the acre in drills. For a 
larger yield of beans, use Nitragin. See page 24.

perfectly round. Makes in 54 days.

press, Ib., 30c; 10 Ibs., $2.75. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD 


WASHINGTON 
GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD— 
This is a great improvement on the 
old-time popular favorite Valentine 
Bean. The pods are fully one-third 
longer, averaging 5 and 6 inches in 
length; absolutely stringless, very 
crisp, round, full and fleshy. It is enor- 
mously productive, its handsome pods 
being ready for market a few days 
earlier than the old Valentine. 
Pkt., 10c; Ib. 40c, postpaid. By freight 
or express, Ib., 30c; 10 Ibs., $2.75. 
TENNESSEE GREEN POD — This 
dwarf, early, intermediate snap bean 
is very popular in some sections of the 
South. The vines are large, somewhat 
spreading, and prolific. The pods are 
very long—very often 6 to 7 inches, 
flat, irregular in shape, bright but 
rather dark green, and of excellent 
quality. 
Pkt., 10c; Ib., 40c, postpaid. By ex- 
press, Ib., 30c; 10 Ibs., $2.75. 
BURPEE'S STRINGLESS GREEN POD 
—Splendid for market and home 
garden. It is stringless in reality as 
well as name. It is an abundant crop- 
per and the pods are thick, round, 
fleshy and nearly straight. Ready for 
picking in 45 days. —

The exacting nature of 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
For those who desire to raise asparagus, one 
of the earliest of the spring vegetables, we 
suggest the purchase of asparagus roots. These 
are ready during March, but to be sure of get- 
ting them you should reserve your stock now 
by sending us your order. 
Our strong two-year-old roots will give the 
best results in the shortest time possible. 
Roots—2-year-old, per dozen, 60c, 
postpaid; by freight or express, $4.00 
per 100. 
Selected Northern Grown 
POLE OR RUNNING BEANS 
A word about Pole Beans. Many growers 
hesitate to plant pole beans because of the 
scarcity of poles. This objection is easily over- 
come and the greater profit in growing the 
pole varieties should be sufficient reason for 
going to a little extra care. Plaster laths will 
answer the purpose and cost very little. 
KENTUCKY WONDER WAX — This 
remarkable vigorous - growing Wwax- 
podded pole bean is very similar to 
the green-podded Kentucky Wonder, 
but the very long pods are a little 
broader, very fleshy, and quite string- 
less as snaps. 
Pkt., 10c; Ib. 40c, postpaid. By 
freight or express, per Ib., 30c. 
Subsistence gardens should grow lots 
of beans: this crop produces more nour- 
ishment per square foot than any other.
