Kennedy Kwaltty Vegetable Shas Git 
New strains and improvements over old favorites are continually introduced after 
thorough trials in the field. Our U. S. Department of Agriculture appropriates tremend- 
ous sums to breed in desired characteristics, or to develop something new. We are 
always on the alert to procure these items after careful trials. To continue to offer the 
old favorites results in a duplication and sometimes confusion for the gardener. As 
quantities are produced, and the price is in line, we therefore drop the older variety in any 
instance where the new introduction embodies all older features plus additional assets.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Fr., Asperge; Ger., Spargel; Sp., Esparrago; It., Asparagi 
Sp.—Spanish 
Asparagus roots should be planted in trenches, which 
should be prepared at least 2 feet deep and 1 foot wide, 
or 3 rows may be planted in a bed 5 feet wide. The 
excavated soil should be placed on each side of the 
trench; then put in a layer of barnyard manure 4 inches 
deep in the bottom of the trench; if manure is not avail- 
able, use other matter rich in organic material. With a 
spading fork work this manure into the subsoil, then 
fill back the excavated soil to within 6 inches of the 
garden grade and your trench is now ready to receive 
the crowns which should be placed a foot apart and 
covered with about 2 inches of soil after the roots have 
been carefully spread out. Do not cut any Asparagus 
the first year as the plant has to build up a good root 
system and strong crowns before it can really produce. 
In the late fall, following planting, clear off all tops. 
Ger.—German It.—Italian 
The following spring the excess soil on the side of the 
trench can be filled in and the bed is complete. If the 
bed is given an annual dressing of a complete fertilizer, 
cultivated and kept free from weeds, it will give an 
abundance of Asparagus for many years.

strain of the Washington nearly as good as the 
“Mary.” Earlier, more productive, larger stalks and 
possesses highest rust resistance.
