VEGETABLES FOR FREEZING 
The symbols (fr) following the variety name indicates vegetables suitable for home 
freezing. 
Asparagus 
A hardy perennial; will bear over 20- 
year period if properly cared for. We 
recommend purchase of ASPARAGUS 
ROOTS rather than seeds, as roots pro- 
duce crop 2 years earlier. If seed is used, 
sow thinly in drills in early Spring. 
Cover to 15” depth. Soak seed 24 hrs. be- 
fore planting. Sow in loose, rich, moist 
soil after weather warms up. Thin to 
stand 6” apart. When a year old and in 
early spring transplant to well enriched 
beds in permanent position, 24’ apart, in 
rows 20” apart. Set in hole so that crown 
is 8” below surface, but only cover tips 
with 3” of soil. As plants grow, fill in 
until level. Don’t cut first year after 
setting. 
MARY WASHINGTON (fr)—Highly rust 
resistant. Heavy yielder, producing early 
large shoots of rich, dark green color

Beans 
Sow in rows 214’ to 315’ apart. Plant 
seed 114” to 2” deep and 3” to 4” apart. 
Do not plant until weather is warm and 
settled. Press soil around seeds. Thin 
young plans to about 6” apart. Keep cul- 
tivated until plants blossom. DO NOT 
CULTIVATE when blossoms are at prime 
or when plants are wet with dew. Make 
plantings every two weeks for supplies 
throughout season.
