ASPARAGUS 
One ounce of seed will sow 75 feet of row and produce about 250 plants. 
Growing Asparagus from Seed: By planting seeds early in the 
spring, you can grow your own roots. Fertilize well and after one year, 
dig the roots and transplant the best of them to the permanent bed. 
204 MARY WASHINGTON. The Best Variety. This is the best of 
the rust resistant strains and is the most widely used variety for home 
and market. The shoots are larger and grow more rapidly than other 
kinds. The stalks are very thick, and of an attractive deep green color 
\ with purple tops. Even the largest and thickest shoots of this variety 
are tender and delicious.

Starting an Asparagus Bed from Roots. To start a bed it is only 
necessary to set out the roots on good soil and give them ordinary care 
to keep weeds down, etc. The land should be plowed or spaded deep and 
worked down well and should be enriched by plowing or spading in a 
heavy dressing of manure. The roots are set out 18 to 24 inches apart in 
Harris! Fresh Dug Roots 
No asparagus you can buy can possibly compare with the fresh succulent 
shoots right out of your garden, and it is surprisingly easy to grow. The 
most important thing is to start with really good, fresh dug roots of high 
quality. We sell only the finest roots, selected for size and vigor and all the 
small or stunted roots are discarded. With Harris’ fresh dug roots it is no 
trouble to have a fine asparagus bed. 
100 roots will supply plenty of asparagus for an average family but more 
should be planted for a large family. Well grown one year roots are the 
most satisfactory to establish a permanent bed. A small cutting, not more 
than two weeks, may be made the second year after setting the roots, and 
the bed may be cut all spring in the third year. 
One year roots only: Doz. $1.00; 50 roots $2.50; 100 roots $4.00 
transportation paid. Not paid: 500 roots $9.50; 1000 roots $18.00 (weight 
500—35 Ibs.; 1000—70 lbs.). 


rows about 4 feet apart. 
BEANS 
A packet of bush beans will plant 20 feet of row; a pound 150 feet. Sow 60 to 75 lbs. per acre. 
1 lb. is equal to a pint; 2 lbs. is 1 qt.; 15 lbs. is a peck. 
At the prices here quoted, we prepay transportation charges on beans to places in the United 
States. For larger quantities, write for special prices. 
The varieties which we offer here have been selected as the best for quality and yield. Our stocks are grown 
from true clean seed, carefully rogued and hand picked. You cannot buy finer seed beans. 
Grow plenty of beans: “Snap” or “string” beans are one of the most satisfactory things to grow in the 
home garden. They require little work and take up little room to easily produce all the fresh beans required for 
summer use and for canning. 
Plant in rows 2 to 24% feet apart, dropping the seed 2 inches apart, or in groups of 3 to 4 at intervals of a 
foot in the row which makes hoeing easier. Do not plant until the ground is warm. In New York State and New 
England, May 10th to 20th is early enough. Better make a small planting every two or three weeks and you 
will have fresh beans right up till frost. 
Green Podded Bush Beans 
85 TENDERGREEN. Fine Round Green Beans—High Quality. For many years Tendergreen has 
been our favorite round green bean and its tremendous popularity proves that it 
is one of the finest and best for home or market. The pods are thick and meaty and have a wonderful flavor 
and tenderness. It matures quite early and the sturdy vigorous vines produce big yields of straight tender 
pods. Until we introduced New Long Tendergreen this was by far the most widely grown round green bean 
and it is still an excellent type to grow for market, roadside stands or home use. The handsome appearance 
appeals to everyone and the quality brings them back for more.
