Mary Washington is one of the most popular of all heirloom asparagus varieties and is an excellent choice for the garden. The delicious asparagus shoots (called "spears") are tender, thick, heavy and straight and are of a rich dark green color with a purple tinge. Produces uniform spears and a heavy yield. This variety was originally developed in California and introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1949. In regards to the history of this variety, Oregon State University states that: "Modern American rust resistant varieties trace back to breeding work done by J. B. Morton at Concord, Massachusetts under heavy rust conditions. A male plant, A7-83, from a variety called 'New American', was found to be exceptional in transmitting rust resistance and vigor. When A7-83 was crossed with B32-39, a female selected from the English variety `Reading Giant', the resulting progeny was the best of many hundreds tested. From this progeny came the strain called 'Martha Washington' and the two original parents were known as `Martha' and `Washington'. Later, another female selection from `Reading Giant', called `Mary', was crossed with `Washington' resulting in the development of `Mary Washington' the most important U.S. variety to date. Currently a strain of the `Mary Washington' type, 'California 500', is the leading variety being planted."

Argenteuil Asparagus (Precoce d' Argenteuil Asparagus) Origin: France Item #: ASPARAGUS002 Argenteuil is a French Heirloom Asparagus developed from an 18th century asparagus variety known as Purple Dutch at Argenteuil, France between 1860 and 1862. Argenteuil was one of the earliest varieties to exhibit the large asparagus spears so well known today. Argenteuil is a traditional French asparagus variety used to create the popular "white asparagus" in France through means of blanching the plants. When un-blanched, this asparagus variety produces thick, rose-purple with an excellent flavor and tender tips. Argenteuil Asparagus is earlier than most asparagus varieties and should be sown by seed from mid March to the end of June. Unlike many other asparagus varieties which do not offer a decent harvest until the third year, Argenteuil will give a good yield in the second year.
