Mary Washington 
The Blue-Blood of the Asparagus World. Extra heavy crowns, long fat 
roots, strong giant size, green color. 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and has been 
considered the best variety of Asparagus grown. Commercial grow- 
ers have been planting Mary Washington exclusively for years. Very 
strong grower, stock of giant size, green color, rich and tender. It is our 
opinion that the two principal good points of this variety are, that it is 
rust-resistant, also a stronger grower than any of the old standards of 
Asparagus. For this reason we have discontinued growing such varie- 
ties as Conover'’s Colossal, Barr's Mammoth, Giant Argenteuil, etc.

ROBERTS’ STRAIN MARY WASHINGTON 
This new strain of Mary Washington (selected and developed by Mr. 
J. L. Roberts) is now being planted almost exclusively here in the east 
by commercial growers and canneries. Roberts’ strain is true Mary 
Washington although through careful selection the new type produces 
larger tips and makes a better growth. For the past two years our 
supply has been sold early to large nearby planters. This season we 
have reserved a part of our stock for our mail order buyers. The supply 
is limited, and we recommend that you order early.
