£P/cMtt £TA&&e n Pa/Ue4ie& fob ^&<m/i 



• PARADISE — This sensational new variety is drawing raves wherever it 

 is planted. Growers are amazed to see the straight, large stalks that grow 

 from roots set the previous Spring. Top quality crisp, tender stalks and 

 exceptionally mild flavor, pays off at harvest time. Make sure your garden 

 or farm acreage includes this new and superior money maker. 



• MARY WASHINGTON— Truly the "blue-blood" of the Asparagus 

 world. Its extra heavy crowns and strong giant stalks have made it ex- 

 clusive with commercial growers. Mary Washington is an exceptionally 

 strong grower, its stalks are a rich green in color, and are as tender as 

 can be. This much in demand variety is considered to be highly rust- 

 resistant. 



• MARTHA WASHINGTON— A result of select strain breeding, this 

 versatile strain contains much of the original Washington characteristics, in 

 addition to having a heavier stalk, being a better producer, and being 

 practically blight-resistant.

RHUBARB 



• McDONALD— You'll want some 

 of this new, early producing, red, 

 sweet rhubarb. Originated in Can- 

 ada, McDonald outyields most other 

 varieties. Milder to the taste, Mc- 

 Donald produces stalks two feet tall 

 that are red all the way down. 



• GIANT CHERRY— This colorful 

 rhubarb, a cherry red along the en- 

 tire length of the stalk, was originat- 

 ed 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 flavor- 

 ed than most varieties. 

 #MYATTS LINNAEUS— An early 

 variety possessing a tangy flavor 

 making it admirably suited for pies 

 and sauce. Produces big crops of 

 large tender stalks.
