Seed Culture—Soak the seed at least 24 
hours before planting. Sow in spring or fall 
in rows 3 feet apart. Cover seed about 1 
inch. When plants are well established thin 
to about one inch apart. By the following 
spring, roots will be ready for setting in 
the permanent bed. One ounce of seed to 
100 feet of drill. 1 pound will plant an acre. 
One ounce will produce 300 plants. Control 
seed decay and seedling blight, and increase 
plant vigor and productiveness by treating 
seeds with Semesan before planting. 
Washington Asparagus Seed (2 Years)— 
Improved strain of rust-resistant quality. 
Giant size, high yield, straight stalks of 
fine flavor and rich green color running 
darker at tip. Very popular with market 
gardeners. 
Root Culture—The soil for asparagus must 
be well drained, and should be worked to a 
depth of 16 to 18 inches. After first year, 
use a liberal dressing of peat moss and 
Vigoro. Dig trenches about 6 inches deep 
and place roots about 18 inches apart. 
Rows should be at least 4 feet apart. Harly 
in the spring spade a liberal dressing of 
manure between the rows and apply a little 
nitrate of soda or ammonium sulphate. It 
requires 65 roots to 100 ft. of row, 9,750 to 
acre. To produce heaviest possible root 
system in the shortest possible time, dust 
roots before planting with Rootone.

Green Pod Bush Beans 
Culture—Beans are sensitive to both 
cold and wet and should be planted 
when the ground has become dry and 
warm. Plant in drills two to three feet 
apart for best results. 
Cover seed 1 inch deep and thin 
plants three to six inches apart. in 
row. Up to time of blossoming, culti- 
vate shallow. Mutilation of roots by 
cultivation after plants have come into 
bloom causes blossoms to blast, and 
reduces crop. One pound plants 100 ft., 
30 to 50 pounds to an acre. For suc- 
cession plant every two weeks until 
mid-summer. Frequent picking results 
in long bearing. Increase yield up to 
50% by inoculating seed before plant- 
ing with Nitragin ‘‘D’” or Garden 
Nitragin.

Mexican Bean Beetles, use Acme Rote- 
planting size.

BEAN FACTS—— 
Quality in Beans is measured by 
stringlessness, by tenderness, or the 
absence of fibre in the pod; by the 
ability to produce, well under favor- 
able or adverse conditions also by 
the shape and length of the pod. 
Flat pod varieties excel in yield 
while round-pod beans are consid- 
ered of best quality. 
Beans and other large seeds should 
be covered with about 1 to 1% in- 
ches of soil. The soil is then pressed 
down over the seeds. 
A succession of plantings of bush 
beans at three week intervals can be 
made to keep a fresh supply com- 
ing on until frost.
