ASPARAGUS PLANTS 
MARY WASHINGTON VARIETY—We have some very large and 
fine asparagus plants for this spring’s sales. 
Home-grown asparagus is one of the easiest to grow and yet one 
of the most delicious treats available to the small gardener. Cut fresh 
in your own garden, it is unexcelled in flavor and quality. Start now to 
have a bed of your own. 
Our plants, if heavily fertilized in your garden, will produce some 
asparagus for you the next spring. The second spring, you can cut it 
for about one month and after that, if you continue heavy fertilization, 
you can cut it up to the ist of July each year. A bed, once started, 
will last as long as you take care of it. 
The Mary Washington variety is generally recognized as the out- 
standing yielder of all varieties of asparagus and more rust resistant 
than other varieties.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE 
Set asparagus in rich soil a foot apart in a furrow 6 inches deep. 
Cover 3 inches and tramp. In hoeing, work soil towards plant so that 
by mid-summer the ground is level. Do not cover 6 inches at first or 
plant will be smothered. Cut sparingly the second year, after that cut 
all shoots 6 or 8 inches high until about the middle of June, then let 
tops grow. Fertilize asparagus liberally, with stable or hen manure any 
time in summer or fall after cutting season is over.
