Vegetable Seeds 
ASPARAGUS 
CuLTURE.—Sow in rows 1 foot apart. When two years old, transplant into 
permanent beds. Set the plants in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and 2 feet in the row, 
covering gradually during the season to 6 to 8 inches. Before winter cover 
with manure or straw. One ounce of seed will sow 40 feet of row. 
Mary Washington. This new rust-resistant variety is recommended by 
the United States Department of Agriculture because of its splendid 
growth, disease-resistance, and excellent flavor, and has proved 
superior to all other varieties of Asparagus. It ts a heavy-ytelding 
variety with long, thick shoots with close tips. The color is a rich 
dark green. 
Mary Washington Roots. 2-year-old. 
BROCCOLI 
Green Sprouting Calabrese. 60 days. This is a choice vegetable which 
is becoming more popular every year and is being planted by many 
gardeners. It produces an abundance of light green, tender sprouts in 
a compact head. Gather the sprouts when buds begin to burst into 
flower. Soon after cutting, new sprouts form and mature quickly in a 
cut-and-come-again fashion. 
Di Cicco. An early variety for canning and freezing. The center head 
is somewhat smaller than Early Green Sprouting, with numerous 
Asparagus side shoots. Plants are vigorous, but the heads are not large.
