ASPARAGUS 
Mary Washington 
Easily grown and very profitable. The first cash crop in the 
Spring, it always brings a high price on the market. Properly cared 
for, an asparagus bed lasts 20 years or more. 
Rust Resistant 
Growers everywhere are discarding all other varieties in favor 
of Mary Washington, because it is earlier, stalks larger, more tender 
and more productive than any other variety and very immune to 
rust. One of the most paying crops you can raise. 
Do not cut first two years. After bed gets well established 
asparagus can be cut for about two months, usually during May and 
June. For home gardens set roots 12 to 15 inches apart in rows two 
to three feet apart. Set them at least six inches deep, cover with a 
little soil and gradually fill trench as plants grow. For field setting, 
have rows four to five feet apart. | 
Jatineau Red Raspberry (Very Early) 
This Red Raspberry was bred at Ottawa, Canada, from Newman 
and Lloyd George, makes a heavy cane with us and berries are 
larger than any of the earliest Red Raspberries we have. The berries 
seem to ripen as early as 0263 but the whole crop does not ripen as 
quickly. It looks to be very promising and we recommend it for trial. 
No stock until fall of 1949. 
Prices same as other Red Raspberries. 
Coming Next Spring 
Superfection (Everbearing Strawberry) 
_ An everbearing variety originating in Northern Michigan by the 
same man who introduced Gem, Mr. George Keplinger. 
We think the Superfection the coming and perhaps the best 
everbearing strawberry to date. It runs larger than Gem or Masta- 
don and the flavor is delicious. We believe it will be a most pleasant 
surprise to you. It is entirely self pollenizing. 
No stock until spring of 1950.
