Asparagus” sent with every order. 
One ounce of seed will produce 800 
plants; 5 Ibs. will sow an aere. 
The popularity of Asparagus in the home 
garden is growing rapidly, as people learn how 
easily it may be raised, and how much better 
the flavor is when cooked immediately after 
cutting. Asparagus begins to lose flavor 20 
minutes after being taken from the ground. A 
small bed 12 feet wide and 25 feet long will 
hold 100 plants and yield sufficient Asparagus 
for the family of ordinary size. Soak the seed 
in warm water for twenty-four hours, then sow 
an inch deep in rows a foot apart. The follow- 
ing spring set the best of the plants in the 
permanent bed.

THE BEST IN TABLE BEETS 
One package of seed planted 2 inches apart, will make a row about 25 feet long; one ounce 
will make a row 100 feet long. If you like greens, especially ‘‘Beet Greens,” sow the seed! thickly 
in-a broad row 4 to 6 inches wide, and when the tops are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin out and use the 
tops and roots as greens. This method of sowing takes one ounce of seed for 20 feet of row. — 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam. Sow seed 1 inch deep, in drills 
16 inches apart, as early as possible. If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds and transplant to 
open ground. Thin to stand 3 to 4 inches apart. Cultivate cleanly and thoroughly. For succession, 
sow at intervals until middle of July. 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
This is the best kind to grow when you want to 
use Beets when very small, say up to 2 inches 
in diameter. 
Our special strain of this popular variety is 
better in many respects than the old one. It is 
globular, perfectly smooth, with short top, 
small tap root, and both skin and flesh dark 
in color. Much earlier than all other dark- 
fleshed varieties. That it is the very best early 
Beet for home or.market gardens is amply 
proved by the many favorable comments that 
come to us.

GREEN TOP WONDER 
A great favorite with the many gardeners who 
like ‘‘Beet greens.’’ Grows very rapidly, clean 
bright green, tall foliage that does not turn 
bronze in cool weather. Splendid nearly globe- 
shaped bulbs, red skinned and with deep red 
flesh slightly zoned with a lighter shade. Very

grown. As a second-early variety, we recom- 
mend it for the home and market garden. Our 
special strain is more uniform in shape and 
color than the old Detroit Dark Red. The tops 
and tap roots are small and the leaves dark 
green, shaded red. Beets are round, smooth, 
and very dark red in skin and flesh. In tender- 
ness and sweetness they are unsurpassed.

EARLY WONDER ie 
We offer a Special Tall-Topped Strain of this 
splendid early and extremely attactive, round, 
bright red Beet. While the small, young Beets 
are round in form, at maturity they become 
slightly flattened. They are very smooth and 
the skin deep red. The inside bright red with 
practically no light circle. It is very uniform 
in shape and:size, and is popular with the 
market gardener and in the home garden for 
canning whole. A much more attractive Beet 
than the ordinary Early Wonder.

PERFECTED DETROIT 
This is a splendid Beet to grow in the fall, 
either for immediate use or for 
canning. The bulb is nearly round 
and very smooth. The flesh fine 
grained, never woody, solid red, per- 
haps not quite as uniformly so as 
our Short Top Strain of Detroit. Has 
seldom any light rings and is high 
in quality. The tops are abundant 
and tall growing. This Beet is par- 
ticularly popular with the commer- 
cial canner who harvests his crop 
with machinery.
