ASPARAGUS 
A hardy perennial; will bear over 
20-year period if properly cared for. 
We recommend purchase of ASPARA- 
GUS ROOTS rather than seeds, as 
roots produce crop 2 years earlier. 
If seed is used, sow thinly in drills 
in early Spring. Cover to ¥2” depth. 
Soak seed 24 hrs. before planting. 
Sow in loose, rich, moist soil after 
weather warms up. Thin to stand 6” 
apart. When a year old and in early 
spring transplant in well enriched 
beds in permanent position, 24” apart, 
in rows 20” apart. Set in hole so 
that crown is 8” below surface, but 
only cover tips with 3” of soil. As 
plants grow, fill in until level. Don’t 
cut first year after setting. 
Mary Washington (fr)—Thick, tall green 
spears with purple tops. Highly rust 
resistant. Rapid growing. Tender. 
BEANS 
Green Podded, Dwarf or Bush 
Don’t plant until the weather is warm 
and settled. 
Sow beans in bottom of furrow, 3” 
to 4” deep and from 2% to 32 feet 
between rows, but do not fill in with 
more than 144” of soil over seeds. 
Press soil firmly over seeds, but do 
not pack hard. Thin to stand 4” to 
6” apart in row. Bean seedlings are 
likely to be slowed up pushing 
through heavy soil. In such soils, 
cover seeds with mixture of half 
sand and half soil, or sand and peat 
VEGETABLE 
SEEDS 
or any other loose, light material 
that will allow seedlings to break 
through easily. 
Thin young plants to about 6” apart. 
Keep cultivated until plants blossom. 
(DO NOT CULTIVATE when blos- 
soms are at prime or when plants are 
wet with dew. Keep vines picked to 
insure a larger bearing period.) Make 
plantings every two weeks for sup- 
plies throughout the season, 
—Two scientific facts about beans 
will help produce better crops. First, 
being legumes, they should be in- 
oculated with special legume culture 
listed in supply section. This enables 
plants to manufacture their own 
nitrogen from the air. Second, bud 
drop of the tiny flowers (even before 
they can be easily seen) cuts the 
early set of pods, By spraying with 
a fruit setting spray these buds are 
held on and the early crop increased 
by as much as 100 per cent. 
Black Valentine Stringless (fr)—Hardy, 
early maturing, very productive. Pods, 
dark green, 6-6¥% in. long, brittle, 
smooth, stringless. Seeds black. 49 days.

green, stringless, but slightly fibrous 
pods of finest quality. 47 days. 
Stringless Green Pod (fr)—Large, sturdy 
plants. Meaty, round pods, brittle and 
strictly stringless at all stages. Medium 
green pods, oval, yellowish-brown seed. 
04 days.

sistant to common bean Mosaic and 
powdery mildew. Pods will set in hot 
weather, borne rather low; round, green 
stringless. 55 days. 
Longreen (fr)—Large, sturdy, prolific 
plants. Long pods, nearly round when 
fully mature. A recent All-America se- 
lection, 52 days. 
Tendergreen (fr}—Large, erect plants. 
Abundant, round, dark-green pods, 
strictly stringless and fleshy. 54. days.

dark green, spreading hardy, produc- 
tive. Pods 644” long, flat, broad, curved, 
medium green, depressed between 
seeds. Stringy, somewhat tough but of 
particularly good flavor. 50 days.

plants, moderately productive. Straight, 
thick, flat pods, creamy yellow and 
stringless. 51 days. 
Sure Crop Stringless—Handsome, rich 
yellow pods. Sturdy, brittle. 6-6¥%2 in. 
long. Strictly stringless. 53 days. 
Beans, Pole 
In warm ground, set poles 4’ to 8’ 
long slanting a bit to the north in 
tows 4’ apart. (Extending north and 
south the poles will be 3’ apart in the 
Tow.) 
Anchor well as heavy beanvines 
blow over easily. 
Plant 5 to 8 beans about 1” deep 
around each pole. When growth is 
sufficient thin to four plants. 
Sometimes three poles set to form a 
tepee are used and several seeds 
planted around each tepee. 
Caution: To avoid spreading plant 
diseases, do not cultivate or pick 
when plants are wet.
