ASPARAGUS 
MARY WASHINGTON is a rust-proof strain pre- 
ferred by commercial growers and home gardeners alike. 
One of the most delicious and earliest of the home- 
grown crops. 
ROOTS, SETS 
AND 
Contrary to general belief, asparagus does not require 
too much space for the small home garden. A hundred 
plants will be sufficient for the ordinary family.

than those of other varieties. Dark green in color, tinged 
purple. With ordinary care, asparagus beds will last for 
many years. Our two-year-old roots will give some cut- 
ting next year and after that all you will want. 25 for
