Westhampton Beach, L. I., May 21st, 1945. 
I purchased from you in 1944 80) four yeer old Mary Washington and Paradise 
Asparagus Roots. When I set them out I used 8 tons of pig pen manure in the trench, 
mostly on top. This Spring I used 2 bags of a 5-10-5 fertilizer, 1 bag of bone meal 
and 30 lbs. of nitrate of soda. I have already sold 100 lbs of Asparagus besides using 
and giving away quantities of it. Some stalks were an inch thick in diameter and they 
haye now grown up 5 ft. in height, as I stopped cutting some time ago. uc:
