ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Planting an asparagus bed is an investment in good eating; for many years you will enjoy 
the delicious flavor that only the fresh-cut shoots have, and no asparagus you buy can 
possibly compare with it. Few vegetables will freeze more satisfactorily, and a bed need 
not be large to furnish plenty to eat fresh and some to freeze as well. 100 roots will supply 
the average family. Well-grown one year roots are very satisfactory but very little should 
be cut until the third year. Two year roots yield a larger cutting the second year. 
STARTING AN ASPARAGUS BED FROM ROOTS—Asparagus is easy to grow if you start with 
really, good, fresh dug roots of high quality. Ours are selected for size and vigor and the 
small roots are discarded. With Harris’ fresh dug roots any fairly good soil will grow fine crops. 
To start a bed it is only necessary to set out the roots on good soil and give them ordinary 
care to keep weeds down, etc. The land should be plowed or spaded deep and worked down 
well, and enriched by plowing or spading in a heavy dressing of manure. The roots are set 
out 18 to 24 inches apart in rows about 4 feet apart. About 5,000 roots will plant one acre. 
WASHINGTON 500. New Improved Type. All the big yields and fine quality of the famous 
Mary Washington but earlier, larger and more uniform. The stalks are deep green without 
purple overcast, stay tight even when fairly tall and they are thick, vigorous and delicious, 
Excellent for market, home use and freezing.

500 roots $9.75; 1,000 roots $18.50. (Weight 500—about 35 lbs., 1,000—about 70 lbs.) 
Two year roots: 25 for $1.75; 50 for $2.75; 100 for $4.50 transportation paid. Not paid: 
500 roots $11.75; 1,000 roots $22.50. (Weight 500—about 50 Ibs., 1,000—about 100 lbs.)

RHUBARB ROOTS 
Easy to grow and delicious to eat. Set out the root divisions 4 ft. apart each way, with the 
crowns two inches below the surface. Manure or fertilizer worked into the soil around them is 
beneficial. Some stalks may be used the first summer from roots set in the spring. 
VALENTINE (New). Long thick stalks, deep red outside and bright red all the way through 
characterize the new Valentine. Sauces and pies made from it are a beautiful rich crimson, 
sweet and fine-flavored. Excellent for home and market and adapted for freezing. Plants

ful pink color, with very fine quality. The skin is so thin that peeling is unnecessary. The 
strong robust plants will last many years and produce big crops.

HORSE-RADISH SETS 
Very easy to grow. Plant the sets (small lengths of roots) early in the spring about 18 in. 
apart in 3 ft. rows, putting the pointed end down and the top 2 in. below soil level.

and holds its color better after grinding. This variety is highly vigorous and will yield well.
