[VAS01] An heirloom French asparagus dating back to the 1700's that is quite early yet with very large spears. These have a wonderful round tip and purplish scales, also a fine selection for blanching with a sweet taste. Sometimes also called "White Asparagus of Argenteuil", 'Precoce d'argenteuil', or 'Purple Dutch'. Very good yields once established. UNTREATED
