PEELED 
One of the most interesting and latest discoveries in agriculture is the pelleting of 
seeds. 
Each seed is coated with inert material which contain fertilizers, insecticides and 
fungicides by a patented process. 
rapid growth is the result of planting pelleted seeds. It is not necessary to trans- 
plant any plants grown from pelleted seeds, just plant them where they are to grow. 
Warlier plantings can be made than from unprotected seeds. 
All Pelleted Seeds Are 20c Per Packet. 
We offer Pelleted Seeds in the selected varieties listed below. No others.

CULTURE—Asparagus, which is one 
of our earliest spring vegetables, is 
also one of the most widely appre- 
ciated and extensively cultivated. Can 
be grown in’ any soil which is not too 
wet. Seed should be sown in March or 
April, in rows 14 inches apart, and 
lightly covered with a layer of soil '% 
to 34 inch deep. When the seed is up 
they should be thinned out. Prepare 
permanent bed by digging a trench 18 
inches wide and 20 inches deep. Fill 
one-third full with well rotted manure 
and tramp it down. Half fill remain- 
ing space with good soil, and set the 
root clumps of the Asparagus, one 
foot apart. Cover roots to surface with 
good soil. The stalks should not be 
cut until a year after planting and 
then but lightly. Full harvest may be 
taken after this. 
WASHINGTON. A vigorous growing 
and very productive variety which has 
been bred to resist the disease known 
as ‘‘Asparagus Rust.’’ The shoots are 
thick and heavy. They are long and 
straight, with closely folded tips. The 
color is rich dark green, tinted darker 
at the tips. 
PALMETTO. Of very large size, even 
and regular in growth and appearance. 
A very early sort immensely produc- 
tive and of the best quality.
