This highly prized salad can be grown in our 
climate, provided the plants are given light 
protection over winter. Start the seed indoors 
and give the same treatment as you would 
tomatoes, transplanting to the garden in May. 
The plants are perennial. 
An ounce of seed will produce 500 plants 
Large Green Globe. The best variety. Pkt.

Equally good results may be secured by 
planting seed or roots; seed is cheaper but 
from one to two years’ time is saved by start- 
ing with roots. 
Sow seed early in the spring, in shallow 
drills 12 to 15 inches apart, and when the 
plants are 4 inches high, thin out to 3 inches 
apart; transplant to the permanent bed the 
following spring. 
An Asparagus bed should be deeply dug 
and plenty of manure worked in. Set the plants 
so that the crown is about 3 inches below the 
bed-level, in rows at least 3 feet apart and 1/7 
to 2 feet apart in the row. Barely cover at first, 
filling in as the plants grow. Do not cut. the 
first year. 
One ounce of seed will sow a 100-foot row; 
5 pounds will sow an acre 
Mary Washington. * Plants vigorous, very 
productive and nearly rust-free. Shoots dark 
green with heavy purple overtone and of 
excellent quality. By far the most extensively 
grown variety. Seed, pkt. 15 cts., oz. 35 cts., 
V4lb. $1.00, lb. $3.00.

BEANS 
Dwarf Green-Podded and 
Wax Beans 
Although the pods of Wax Beans are con- 
sidered more attractive than those of the green- 
podded sorts, there is no difference in quality, 
and personal choice, or market demand, must 
decide which to grow; both are delicious and 
both yield bountiful returns from limited space. 
Home gardeners will want some of both types. 
As soon as the ground warms up, plant the 
Beans 1!4 to 2 inches deep and 2 to 3 inches 
apart in rows 2 to 21/4 feet apart. Later plant- 
ings should be covered 2!4 to 3 inches deep. 
For a constant supply, plant every two weeks 
from May to August. 
For Increased Yield Inoculate This Seed 
with LEGUME-AID. 
A pint of seed will sow 150 feet of furrow; 
1 to 114 bushels, depending on variety, 
will be required for an acre when the seed 
is planted in drills.
