 from our 2 year size roots. In looks Paradise 

 asparagus is similar to other varieties of 

 the Washington type . The flavor of Paradise 

 is much milder than other varieties. Even 

 if you only have a few square feet of space 

 in your garden set some of the new Paradise 

 this year. You will be well repaid for the 

 small investment made. PRICES OF PARA-

just what the country has been looking for and. from the 

 reports received by our customers this year, who ordered 

 Maryland Golden from us. and the market reports 

 throughout the country, we are entirely convinced that 

 there is not a sweet potato on the market today that has 

 the money making possibilities for the commercial 

 grower as well as the satisfaction obtained by the small 

 growers for table use. as the Maryland Golden. The 

 demand far exceeds the supply and we look for it fo 

 remain so for a good many years. Be the first in your 

 community to grow this wonderful potato and benefit 

 by the profits you will receive from them. 



The color is all that the name implies — a deep, rich, 

 golden yellow with a slight oinkish cast, holding its 

 color perfectly when cooked. It is not of the dry type 

 like Little Stem Jersey or of the wet type like the Nancy 

 Halls or Yams, only, slightly moist at any state of 

 maturity. It produces a crop very early, therefore, is 

 one of the best varieties for our Northern customers to 

 grow where early maturing varieties are a necessity. 



We want to tell vou more about this variety: however, 

 space will not permit it here. Therefore, we have pr'nt^d 

 an illustrated folder on Marvland Golden which will be 

 sent to you free on request. 



We offer j-ou Maryland Golden plants and 

 certified seed stock at prices shown on the 

 left. Let us reserve your supply earlv this 

 year as last year found us sold out long 

 before the season was over.
