VEGETABLE SEEDS 

Underlined items are those we 
particularly recommend. 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is a hardy perennial which will 
bear over a 20-year period if the bed is 
properly established and cared for. We 
recommend the purchase of Asparagus 
roots (offered below) rather than seeds, 
for the fussy work of starting, transplant- 
ing and selection are thus eliminated and 
above all, a crop may be harvested at 
least 2 years earlier. 
If seed is used sow it thinly in drills, 
in the early Spring and cover to a depth 
of % inch. The plants should be thinned 
to stand at least 6 inches apart and when 
a year old transplant to carefully pre- 
pared and heavily enriched beds. 
1 ounce of seed will sow about 60 feet 
of drill. 
MARY WASHINGTON — Developed by 
U. S. Department of Agriculture and 
since its introduction it has been the most 
popular variety in cultivation, primarily 
because of its immunity to rust. The 
stalks are dark green with purplish tips. 
Very large, straight, and of superb quality. 
Pkt. 15¢, oz. 25¢, % Ib. 75¢. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
MARY WASHINGTON. The high yield, 
vigor, and rust-resistance of this 
variety make it the most ideal type 
to plant. Roots are grown and are 
selected from true stock. 
$3.00 per 100; $22.00 per 1000 
BEANS 
Time to Plant—Seed of most BUSH BEANS may be 
sown about May 1 with later plantings until about 
August 1; DWARF SHELL BEANS from May 1 to 
about June 20 and POLE SNAP BEANS from 
May 1 to July 5. LIMA BEANS should not be 
planted before May 15 with later plantings of the 
Bush varieties until about June 20 and until about 
June 10 with Pole varieties. 
Planting—Plant BUSH BEANS in rows about 2% 
feet apart and cover the seed to a depth of about % 
inch. POLE BEANS should be planted in hills with 
a stout pole, 6 feet or more long in the center of 
each hill. These hills should be arranged in rows 
and spaced about 2 feet apart in the row. Leave 
about 4 feet between the rows to admit plenty of 
air and light. Two or three plants should be allowed 
to each pole. 1 pound of BUSH BEANS will sow 
a row of about 50 feet; 1 lb. of POLE BEANS 
(except Limas) will plant about 200 hills; and 1 Ib. 
of LIMAS, about 75 hills.
