This grand result has not come by chance but is the legitimate outcome of years of patient work and careful selection by the orginator over eight generations from the original plant. In addition to the marvelous advan-tage of its white color tl Columbian Mammoth White Asparagus is even more robust and vigorous in habit and throws larger shoots and fully as many of them as the Conovers Colossal. When we add to these the immense advantage of its needing no earthing up in order to furnish the white shoots so much sought after, we think it evident that it is superior to any sort now in cultivation and that no Asparagus grower can afford to plant seed of any other kind. Market gardeners, growers for canners and amateurs should give this great acquisition a thorough trial for we are confident that when once known it will be used to the of all other kinds.'
