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. 
MARY WASHINGTON. The standard kind, well-known for many years and highly dependable. 
One year roots: 25 for $1.45; 50 for $2.30; 100 for $3.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 
500 roots $10.00; 1,000 roots $19.00. (Weight 500—about 35 lbs., 1,000—about 70 lbs.) 
Two year roots: 25 for $1.90; 50 for $2.95; 100 for $4.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 
500 roots $13.00; 1,000 roots $24.00. (Weight 500—about 50 lbs., 1,000—about 100 lbs.) 
WASHINGTON 500. Earlier and larger than the regular Mary Washington. Tips free of 
purple overcast. Fine for home use but not sufficiently rust-resistant for large plantings. 
Two year roots only: 25 for $1.90; 50 for $2.95 transportation paid. 
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. 
NEW WHITE HOT. Superior to ordinary horse-radish, being hotter and holding its color 
better after grinding. This variety is highly vigorous and will yield well. 
Doz. 95c; 50 for $2.35; 100 for $3.65; 500 for $9.50; 1,000 for $17.50 postpaid. 
RHUBARB ROOTS. We regret that because of difficulties in producing good rhubarb roots, 
we are not able to offer any this year.
