ASPARAGUS | 
Every year sees more gardeners growing their 
own Asparagus roots from seed they sow. Just put 
the seed in rows a foot apart and cover with 
4 in. of soil. Dig the plants in the fall and make 
a permanent bed of the strongest plants. We have 
for sale J. A. Eliot’s booklet, ‘‘Asparagus Needs 
No Trench.” It’s an entirely new approach on 
growing more Asparagus in less room in the 
back-yard garden. 25c a copy.

State. Has larger stalks than older kinds; is more 
productive; tips are more closed; produces high 
quality stalks for a longer season; better for freez-

better in many respects than the old one. It is 
globular, perfectly smooth, with short tap root,

earlier than all other dark-fleshed varieties. That

HART & VICK’S TABLE BEETS 
One package of seed planted 2 inches apart, will make a row about 25 feet long; one ounce will 
make a row 100 feet long. If you like greens, especially ‘‘Beet Greens,’ sow the seed thickly in a 
broad row 4 to 6 inches wide, and when the tops are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin out and use the tops 
and roots as greens. This method of sowing takes one ounce of seed for 20 feet of row. 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam. Sow seed 1 
We are particularly proud of this strain of 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
inch deep in drills 16 inches 
If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds and transplant to open ground. 
Thin to stand 3 to 4 inches apart. Cultivate closely and thoroughly. For succession, sow at intervals. 
until middle of July. Beet seed must have moisture in the soil to make it germinate. 
DETROIT DARK RED 
For canning either whole, sliced or cubed when 
the bulbs are over 2 inches in diameter this strain 
of Detroit is by far the best. 
The most popular table and canning Beet grown. 
As a second-early variety, we recommend it for 
the home and market garden. Our special strain 
is more uniform in shape and color than the old 
Detroit Dark Red. The tops and tap roots are 
small and the leaves dark green, shaded red. 
Beets are round, smooth, and very dark red in 
skin and flesh. In tenderness and sweetness they 
are unsurpassed.
