Our selection will be found to contain those really desirable and our stock of the highest possible quality. Artichoke Sow seeds in April or May in deep, rich, sandy loam with plenty of well-rotted manure. When large enough, transplant into rows three feet apart and two feet in the row. Protect its crowns in the fall with ashes or litter and heads will form about July of second year. Renew the planting every third or fourth year. Large Green Glebe. Flower heads can be cooked like asparagus. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c. Jerusalem Artichoke. The tubers are planted like potatoes. About 3 bushels to acre. They are excellent for feeding stock, espe- cially hogs. Qt., 20c; pk., 75c; bu., $ Special prices on larger quantities. Asparagus Seed One ounce will produce about 500 plants.
