ASPARAGUS PLANTS 
Home-grown asparagus is one of the easiest to grow and yet one of 
the most delicious treats available to the small gardener. Cut fresh in your 
own garden, it is unexcelled in flavor and quality. Start now to have a bed 
of your own. 
Our plants, if heavily fertilized in your garden, will produce some aspar- 
agus for you the next spring. The second spring, you can cut it for about 
one month and after that, if you continue heavy fertilization, you can cut 
it up to the 1st of July of each year. A bed, once started, will last as long 
as you take care of it. 
We have two varieties available this year, the Mary Washington which 
has been the standard rust resistant variety and the California, a new variety 
now being recommended by the Hastern States Farmers Exchange. They 
are both good. 
Prices (1 Year): 50 for $1.50; 100 for $2.50; 1,000 for $16.00.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE 
Set asparagus in rich soil a foot apart in a furrow 6 inches deep. Cover 
3 inches and tramp. In hoeing, work soil towards plant so that by mid- 
summer the ground is level. Do not cover 6 inches at first or plant will be 
cmothered. Cut sparingly the second year, after that cut all shoots 6 or 8 
inches high until about the middle of June, then let tops grow. Fertilize 
asparagus liberally, with stable or hen manure any time in summer or fall 
after cutting season is over.
