RHUBARB 



McDonald You'U want some of this 

 early producing, red, sweet rhubarb. 

 Originated in Canada, McDonald outyields 

 most other varieties. Milder to the taste, McDonald produces 

 stalks two feet tall that are red all the way down. 

 • MYATTS LINNAEUS An early variety possessing a tangy 

 flavor making it admirably suited for pies and sauce. Produces 

 big crops of large, tender stalks. 



QUEEN Vigorous grower. Produces extremely large stalks 

 of high quality. A really tremendous commercial variety. 



• GIANT CHERRY This colorful Rhubarb, a 

 cherry red along the entire length of the stalk, was 

 originated in California, and the stalks are so tender 

 that they need no peeling when cooked. The stalks 

 are extra large and less acid and better flavored 

 than most varieties.

MARYLAND GOLDEN SWEET POTATOES 



^^ Ir Delivery any 

 stock. *^l house. 



It pleases us to once again offer the most outstanding sweet potato on 

 the market today — Maryland Golden. From constant reports received 

 from our customers this year, we are convinced that there is not a sweet potato 

 on the market today that demands — and consistently gets — the premium 

 prices that this variety gets. Its money-making abilities for both the com- 

 mercial grower and the home gardener have been nothing short of sensa- 

 tional. As was the case last year, the demand far exceeds the supply, and 

 it is our opinion that this situation will remain prevalent for many years 

 to come. Do not discount enthusiastic reports on this wonderful potato. 

 Get in on the profits yourself — — do it now. 



Specifically good for northern climates because of its early maturing habits. 

 Maryland Golden is all that its name implies. Its coloring is a rich yellow 

 that remains with the potato even after cooking. It is not of the dry type like 

 Little Stem Jersey, or of the wet type like Nancy Halls or yams. At any 

 state of maturity it is only slightly moist. 



Much as we would like to continue to tell you about this variety, space limi- 

 tations in this catalog diaates the brevity of this write-up. Therefore, we 

 have printed an illustrated folder on Maryland Golden which will be sent 

 to you free upon request. 



Remember, last year we were sold out long before the season was over. See 

 to it that your order is filled. Order now.

Truly the "Blue-blood" of the as- 

 paragus world, this best by far vari- 

 ety is the talk of the farms. Its 

 extra heavy crowns and long, fat 

 roots have made it exclusive with 

 commercial growers that demand 

 (and get with Mary Washington) as- 

 paragus that are strong and of giant 

 size. Mary Washington is an excep- 

 tionally strong grower, its staiks are 

 a rich green in color, and are as ten- 

 der as can be. This much in demand 

 \ariety was originated by the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, and is 

 considered highly rust-resistant. 



O MARTHA WASHINGTON 



A result of select strain breeding, 

 this versatile strain contains much 



of the original Washington charac- 

 teristics in addition to having a 

 heavier stalk, being a better pro- 

 ducer, and being practically blight- 

 '•esistant. 



^PARADISE 



Sensational in all of its aspects, this 

 strictly new variety is drawing raves 

 wherever it is planted. Growers are 

 amazed to see straight, large stalks 

 that grow from roots set the pre- 

 vious spring, and its many fine qual- 

 ities such as crisp, tender stalks and 

 exceptionally mild flavoring, pays off 

 at market time. Paradise brings cash 

 returns one year earlier than other 

 varieties. Make sure your garden or 

 farm acreage includes this new and 

 superior money maker.
