Asparagus 
Asparagus is easy to grow and you can make big profits 
from a small space. 50 to 150 plants will supply this deli- 
cious food for the family. A bed lasts for 10 to 15 years, 
and you can depend on heavy regular crops from our 
roots. It is most important that you get strong, healthy 
true-to-name plants. We grow them by the thousands from 
guaranteed tested seed on special soil to give you the 
best planting stock.
