H. D. Richardson & Co., Willards, Maryland 13 
We introduce you to 
Mr. & Mrs. Roy Nestor 
of West Virginia who 
recently paid our firm 
a visit. Mr. Nestor has 
spent most of his life ce ar 
as a blacksmith. Since retiring from that occupation he has started growing 
strawberries as a hobby. He has found it very profitable. His experiences 
growing strawberries with our plants would thrill anyone who loves plants or 
ASPARAGUS 
Since the beginning of World War II 
there has been very little asparagus 
planted commerically. There is not 
enough asparagus to supply the demand. 
Large commpanies have called meetings 
among farmers to encourage them to 
plant more asparagus for canning and 
ireezing. 
If your space is limited you can always 
plant enough asparagus for the family 
around the border of your garden. You 
will have spears from March or April to 
July for several years. Asparagus will 
grow in most all well-drained soil. 
MARY WASHINGTON 
Mary Washington asparagus has been 
so satisfactory that other varieties are 
practically forgotten. We want to men- 
tion that the Mary Washington stock 
comes out of the ground plumb straight. 
When you go to bunch them they lay in 
the form straight as pencils.
