plants, bulbs or nursery stock sold are as 
described on the container within recog- 
nized tolerances. Seller gives no other or

PLANTS 
On account of the delays in transportation 
and the perishable nature of fresh vege- 
table and flower plants we cannot guaran- 
tee that plants in all instances will arrive in 
suitable condition. 
Also see top of page 56. 
CULTURE: Sow seed thick 
in rows 20 inches apart. Use 
plenty of water for the seed 
as a hard hull. After the 
plants start growing do not 
cultivate closely as this will 
injure the roots. The follow- 
ing spring or second year 
the roots should be dug, sep- 
arated and transplanted in 
the field or garden, making 
trenches about 4 inches deep, 
6 inches wide; place roots, 
crown up, 20 inches apart. 
Leave the rows 3 feet 
apart. If you do not care to 
wait and raise your own 
roots we can supply you 
with two-year-old roots of 
the varieties listed below. 
Asparagus does not require 
as much water as most veg- 
etable crops.
