ROOTS 
SENECA WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS ROOTS: 
A new strain of Washington developed on our farms 
by selecting high producing plants of Mary Washing- 
ton, testing these for yield, size of shoot, and uni- 
formity. From these a male and female were chosen 
as the best in the group and crossed to produce Seneca 
Washington. Seneca Washington is very vigorous 
and apparently is as resistant to disease as its par- 
ents. The shoots are large, green with purple com- 
pact tips.
