Asparagus—Mary Washington 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is a hardy perennial plant which will bear 
a satisfactory crop over a 20-year period if the bed is prop- 
erly established and cared for. We recommend the 
purchase of ASPARAGUS ROOTS (offered below) 
rather than seeds for the fussy work of starting, trans- 
planting and selection are thus eliminated and above all, 
a crop may be harvested at least 2 years earlier. 
“If seed is used sow it thinly in drills, in the early 
Spring and cover to a depth of only /2 inch. The re- 
sulting plants should be thinned out to stand at least 
6 inches apart and when a year old transplant them to 
carefully prepared and heavily enriched beds. 
1 ounce of seed will sow about 60 feet of drill 
5012 Paradise. A fine new variety that produces a 
normal crop a year earlier than “Washington,” 
with a heavier yield. Delicious, mild flavored, 
tender green stalks. Pkt. 25c., oz. $1.00 
5015 Mary Washington. The stalks are dark 
green with purplish tips. Very large, straight, and 
of superb quality. Immune to rust.

BEANS 
Time to Plant—Seed of most BUSH BEANS may be sown about May 1 with later plantings until 
about August 1; DWARF SHELL BEANS from May | to about June 20 ped POLE SNAP BEANS from 
May | to July 5. LIMA BEANS should not be planted before May 15 with later plantings of the Bush 
varieties until about June 20 and until about June 10 with the Pole varieties. 
_planting— Plant BUSH BEANS in rows about 214 feet apart and cover the seed to a depth of about 
% inch. POLE BEANS should be planted in hills with a stout pole, 6 feet or more long in the center of 
each hill. These hills should be arranged in rows and spaced about 2 feet apart in the row. Leave about 
4 feet between the rows to admit plenty of air and light. Two or three plants should be allowed to each pole. 
1 pound of BUSH BEANS will sow a row of about 50 feet; 1 1b. of POLE BEANS (except Limas) 
will plant about 200 hills; and 1 lb. of LIMAS, about 75 hills
