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 finest 
green asparagus for home use, market, canning and freezing. It is rust 
resistant and uniform with large, rapid growing shoots and it produces 
big yields of delicious asparagus. The stalks are very thick, and of an 
attractive deep green color with purple tops. Even the largest and thick- 
est shoots of this variety are tender and of fine flavor.

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 
rows about 4 feet apart. 

HARRIS’ FRESH DUG ROOTS 
No asparagus you buy can possibly compare with the fresh succulent 
shoots right out of your garden, and if you have a freezer, be sure to put 
in some asparagus. [t is easy to grow if you start with really good, fresh 
dug roots of high quality. Ours are selected for size and vigor and the 
small roots are discarded. With Harris’ fresh dug roots, any fairly good 
soil will grow fine crops. 
100 roots will supply plenty of asparagus for an average family. Well- 
grown one year roots are most satisfactory but very little should be cut 
until the third year. Two-year roots yield a larger cutting the second year. 
1 year roots: 25 roots $1.25; 50 $2.00: 100 $3.50 postpaid. Not paid:

BEANS 
A packet of bush beans will plant 20 feet of row; a pound 150 feet. Sow 60 to 75 Ibs. per acre. | |b. is equal to a pint; 2 Ibs. is 1 qt.; 15 Ibs. is a peck. 
Plant in rows 2 to 2% 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 to have fresh beans right up till frost. 
ROTENONE controls Bean Beetles. Watch the undersides of bean leaves during June; at the first 
sign of Mexican bean beetles or their larvae (bright orange colored eggs), dust the undersides thor- > ; 
oughly with Rotenone dust, EndoPest, or spray with NNOR. See page 82. 
GREEN PODDED BUSH BEANS 
46 LOGAN. Productive New Round Bean. Growers in many sections will welcome this new 
green bean which has been outstanding in our trials the past two years. [t is mosaic- 
resistant, vigorous and dependable and the vines set great quantities of fine long pods. They are 
smooth and well-rounded, very thick-meated, light green and of top quality. Ideal for home use, 

market and shipping.

50 LONG TENDERGREEN. Also called ‘‘Longreen.’’ If you want really delicious, tender 
snap beans, grow our Long Tendergreen. This strain produces 
the longest and handsomest pods we have ever seen in a round green bean. It has all the best 
qualities of the famous Tendergreen—full flavor, tenderness and thick meat, and yet actually 
grows fully an inch longer. Pods often seven inches in length, and even when large they are as 
tender and succulent as young beans. Wonderful for canning and freezing. 
The plants are robust, healthy and productive over a long period if kept picked. Equally good 

for home gardens and market growers and very highly recommended.

81 SUPERGREEN. (New.) Delicious, Meaty, and Tender. The latest development in high 
quality green beans. Round, slim and attractive, the pods are uniformly 
long and of fine green color. Yields are excellent and the beans are delightful to eat fresh, canned 

or frozen. See photo and full description on page 4.

85 TENDERGREEN. Fine Round Green Beans—High Quality. For many years the favor- 

Long Tendergreen 
ite green bean for all purposes and still a fine variety to grow. 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. Popular for market, roadside stands and 
home use. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Lb. 35e; Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.20; 7144 Lbs. $3.90; 15 Lbs. $7.50. 
80 STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE. Improved Type. The pods are stringless and when 
young, are nearly round, becoming oval as they grow older. They are long, slim and straight, 
excellent for market.

18 BOUNTIFUL. Standard Early Flat-Podded Type. Bountiful is one of the earliest 
varieties with long, handsome, straight green pods, flat but still meaty and of fine flavor. 
It is one of the most widely grown beans in the country because it succeeds under almost 
any conditions. Popular for home use, our strain is unexcelled for market growers and long- 
distance shippers. The yigorous hardy plants are extra prolific, and our [daho-grown seed is 
the best obtainable. 
Rkt. 10c; % Lb. 30c; Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00; 74% Lbs. $3.45; 15 Lbs. $6.50. 
60 PLENTIFUL. The Finest Flat Podded Green Bean. If you want flat green beans of the 
highest quality grow Plentiful. It ripens a few days later than Bountiful but has even longer, 
more meaty and finer quality pods. The vines make a strong sturdy growth and bear pods 
profusely. The pods are long, straight and light green, and are entirely stringless at all stages. 
Plentiful has often brought premium prices on the market because of its fine appearance and 
high quality, and home gardeners are always proud of their Plentiful beans.
