Columbian Mammoth
Stalks are large and tender, nearly an inch in diameter, retaining their thickness will to the top, having close round heads, and few scales.
Conover's Colossal
One of the large, popular, green varieties; stalks bright green, often tinged purple at the top, of tender, fine quality.
Martha Washington
This variety is the result of careful breeding by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington D.C. With the object of eliminating rust. It produces large straight shoots of a dark green color. The tips are tight and firm and do not open out or begin to branch until well out of the ground; a very valuable feature.
Mary Washington
The highest type of the rust-resistant asparagus. It is earlier, larger and longer than the original Washington and quite as resistant. Tips are very tight and do not “sprangle out” or “blow” prematurely.
Palmetto
An early maturing and prolific variety, with thick dark green shoots, pointed at the tip. This is the most popular seller of the asparagus family.
