GIANT ARGENTEUIL ASPARAGUS. The seed which I offer Is a selection from ImportedFrench •Vrgenteuil stock. My strain Is an improvementupon the oi iginal. In the South It is regarded as dis-tinctly superior to Palmetto, and I recommend it withgreat confidence to Northern growers. One experiencedglower savs that Argentenil is as much larger than Pal-metto as Palmetto Is larger than Conover. It has a place of its own in the New York and Boston markets, and sellsfor to more per dozen bunches than the best ofthe old sorts. It is the most promising asparagus, as amoney maker, within my knowledge. Pkt., lOc; oz., 15c ;li lb., 30e.; lb., 1-year-old roots, per 100, post-paid.
