The Blue-Blood of the 
Asparagus World. Extra

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 has been developed 
from original Mary Washington by selection, to produce a new type 
possessing very large spears, heavy yields and great vigor, which pre- 
vents the ravages of rust. For several years our supply was sold early 
to large nearby planters. Our production has been increased, however, 
and we have reserved a part of our stock for our mail order customers. 
We recommend that you order early, and we will reserve your plants for 
you until shipping time.
