ASPARAGUS 
1 oz. to 100-foot row. 4 lbs. to acre. 
MARY WASHINGTON—A recently developed rust-re- 
sistant strain, producing large deep green sprouts of 
splendid quality. Pkt., 15c; oz., 35c: Y%4 lb., 95c. 
ROOT PLANTING. A year may be saved by buying 
the plants and setting them at least two feet apart in the 
row, and the rows not closer than four feet; see that the 
roots are well and evenly spread out in planting. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS—2-year-old roots. Doz., 65c; 25 for 
$1.25; 100, $3.50. Do not cut the first year. 
GARDEN BEANS 
1 lb. to 100-ft. row. 60 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. There is hardly a vegetable that contributes 
to the table as liberally as the snap bean. It is easy to 
grow and a heavy producer. Beans should be planted at 
intervals so that one may always have a fresh patch to 
depend upon. 
For the best crops beans require good rich soil and 
frequent hoeing. The young plants are very tender and 
cannot withstand even slight frosts. The seed should not 
be planted until the soil has become well warmed and 
all danger of frost is over. Spade or plow deeply and 
plant in rows 2 feet apart, scattering the seed about 3 
inches apart in the row, and cover 2 inches deep. Hoe 
frequently, but never when the foliage is damp from dew 
or rain. Hoeing should be done shallow so that the roots 
are not injured.

frost. The culture is practically the same as for cabbage.

Early Wonder Beet 
CULTURE. Beets thrive best in deep, rich, sandy soil, 
one which the roots can penetrate easily For extra early 
use, the seed may be sown in hotbeds and the young 
plants set out in the open, trimming off the outer leaves. 
They can be transplanted easily in moist weather. For 
early use, spade or plow deeply, sow seed in rows 18 
inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. If dry, the soil 
should be well firmed about the seed. When three or four 
leaves have developed, thin out to four inches apart in 
the row, allowing the strongest to remain. Keep free from 
weeds. For main crop sow end of April. For Winter crop, 
sow end of June.

popular vegetable. Culture is the same as Cauliflowe 
but much easier grown. A rapid grower, producin: 
bluish green heads in center of plant about 90 day 
after planting. After original head is cut, the plant pro 
duces many branches which also bear smaller heads 
It is usually served like Cauliflower but the flavor is 
distinct and has no similarity to Cauliflower. It is alsc 
cooked and served the same way as Asparagus. 9(

CABBAGE 
Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
VY oz. to 100-ft. row. 2 oz. to acre. 
CULTURE. Start with good seed. For extra early use, 
seed may be sown in January or February very thinly in 
hotbeds—for medium early, start seeds last of February 
or early March in hotbeds, but glass is not required. 
Muslin covers are satisfactory. For late crop, start the seed 
in cold frames in late April or early May and not over one- 
fourth inch deep. Plants should be set in rows 242 to 3 
feet apart and 12 to 18 inches in row.

is fit to work, in rows 15 inches apart, and when 2 inches 
high, thin out so that the plants stand 2 inches apart in 
the row. For fall and winter use, sow the seed from the 
Ist to the 15th of June. The roots may be stored in cellar

CULTURE. Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, 
moderately dry sandy soil, using well-rotted manure 
When frost is over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill abou 
one inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leaving four 
strong plants to the hill. Pinch off the ends of the vines 
when about a foot long; this will make them strong and 
bear more freely. Give frequent but shallow cultivation 
till the vines cover the ground. Do not grow near cucum- 
bers, squashes, etc.

CULTURE. Sow in drills early in spring as soon as the 
ground can be worked. The soil should be rich and well 
prepared. Cover the seed lightly with fine earth, tamping 
in firmly. Keep moist to insure germination and quick. 
vigorous growth. In order to secure stocky plants cut off 
the tops once or twice before transplanting to the field or 
garden. Set plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows from 3 to 4 
feet apart. Transplanting should be done about the last of 
June. Care should be taken to firm the earth well around 
the roots of the plant; work up the soil between the rows, 
drawing it to the plants from time to time until they are 
covered to the very tops.

Y, oz. to 100-ft. row; 3 lbs. to acre 
CULTURE. For general crop, sow as early in the spring 
as the ground can be worked in drills 18 inches apart, 
and thin the young plants to 4 inches apart in the row. 
As the plants begin to crowd, thin them out and use as 
required. Keep the soil coustantly loose by frequently hoe- 
ing. Lettuce to be at its best should be grown as rapidly 
as possible, hence the soil should be made as rich as 
possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. 
For winter, sow under glass from November to February 
and thin out as necessary to prevent crowding. Keep a 
moderate heat and give all the light and air possible.

The greens, for which this quick growing plant is 
chiefly raised, are fully as healthful and nourishing as 
spinach. Mustard is related to turnip, and although the 
tops are much alike in richness and flavor, mustard leaves 
are more tender and the stems not so long and coarse. 
Seed may be sown from early spring to midsummer in 
rows 18 inches apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. The plants are in condition for use as soon as the 
leaves are the size of one’s hand. Mustard runs to seed 
quickly, so that successive plantings are necessary for a 
continuous supply.
