In the past decade and a half,

tons a year for II to IA years with
out replanting.
The present season for asparagus
started about September 20, and
unless an unexpected frost comes,
will continue until November 20 or

Then, after lying dormant, the as
paragus will bloom forth again to

the warm weather will cause the
asparagus to fern and cutting will
be discontinued and the asparagus

til it reaches the tables of the
crowded city dwellers in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
AS the trim. neatly lettered,
crates are unloaded from the trucks
they are quickly placed on a slowly
moving conveyor which runs the
lower inches of the stalks through
the tank of ice water at a tenn
perature of 36 degrees. After the
asparagus has passed through this
IL minute preliminary cold water
treatment, it is stored in the cold
room of the Imperial Ice company

is a 1896 development. Eastern
vegetable dealers report that this
new water cooling adds greatly TO
the reputation of Imperial Valleys

Only one small area in southern
Arizona competes with Imperial
