The Blue-Blood of the 
Asparagus World. Extra 
heavy crowns, long fat roots, strong giant 
size, green color. 
Mary Washington 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and has been con- 
sidered the best variety of Asparagus grown. Commercial growers have 
been planting Mary Washington exclusively for years. Very strong grow- 
er, stock of giant size, green color, rich and tender. It is our opinion that 
the two principal good points of this variety are, that it is rust-resistant, 
also a stronger grower than any of the old standards of Asparagus. For 
this reason we have discontinued growing such varieties as Conover's 
Colossal, Barr's Mammoth, Giant Argenteuil, etc.

ROBERTS’ STRAIN MARY WASHINGTON 
This new strain of Mary Washington (selected and developed by Mr. 
J. L. Roberts) is now being planted almost exclusively here in the East by 
commercial growers and canneries. Roberts’ strain is true Mary Washing- 
ton although through careful selection the new type produces larger tips 
and makes a better growth. For the past two years our supply has been 
sold early to large nearby planters. This season we have reserved a part 
of our stock for our mail order buyers. The supply is limited, and we recom- 
mend that you order early.
