VEGETABLE LIST FOR 19495 

Asparagus 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE—When starting an Asparagus 
bed from seed, it is advisable to soak the 
seed for 24 hours before planting. This 
makes germination more rapid and cer- 
tain. Sow in Spring in rows about 18 
inches apart, allowing 15 to 20 seeds to the 
foot. Cover 2 inches deep. When plants are 
well established, thin to about an inch 
apart. Hoe frequently during the Summer. 
The plants will be ready to set in a perm- 
anent bed the following Spring. 
GIANT WASHINGTON. A rust-resisting 
asparagus. This splendid new asparagus 
which has been bred up under U. S. Gov-. 
ernment supervision, has proven to be of 
unquestioned merit both for the home 
garden or for production on a large scale. 
The color is good and quality excellent.

CULTURE—Plant Beans after all danger 
of frost is past, in warm, dry, well pre- 
pared soil. The rows should be 2 to 8 feet 
apart and the seeds covered 1% to 2 inches 
deep. Thin the young plants to 8 to 6 ins. 
apart in the rows. Shallow cultivation 
should be frequent until blossoming; then 
stop to avoid injury to roots. Root injury 
causes the blossoms to fall off. For suc- 
cession, plant every 2 weeks until mid- 
summer. Frequent picking of the crop in- 
sures long bearing.
