■m • MARY WASHINGTON. A heavy yielding 

 strain producing uniform, long, tender, rapidly 

 growing shoots. An excellent variety for market 

 or home gardeners.

 from the Washington variety, much heavier stalk 

 and a greater producer than the original Wash- 

 ington variety ; practically blight-resistant.

PARADISE (New). Matures earlier than 

 any other known variety. Good cuttings can 

 be had one year after planting even from our 

 1 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 

 I be well repaid for the small investment made.

just what the country has been locking for and, from the 

 reports received by our customers this year, who ordered 

 Maryland Golden from us, and the market reports through 

 out the country, we are entirely convinced that there V 

 not a sweet potato on the market today that has the 

 money making possibilities for the commercial grower a? 

 well as the satisfaction obtained by the small gr wen f> I 

 table use, as the Maryland Golden. The demand far ex- 

 ceeds the supply and we look for it to remain bo for » 

 good many years. Be the first in your community to pn ■ 

 this wonderful potato and benefit by the proflta you will 

 receive from them 



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

 golden yellow with a slight pinkish cast, holding its color 

 perfectly when cooked. It is not of the dry type lik< 

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

 or Yams, only slightly moist at any state of maturity. It 

 produces a crop very early, therefore, is one of the bed 

 varieties for our Northern customers to grow where earb 

 maturing varieties are a necessity 



We want to tell you more about this variety; however 

 space will not permit it here. Therefore, we have printer) 

 an illustrated folder on Maryland Golden which will be 

 sent to you free on request. 



We offer you Maryland Golden plants and 

 certified seed stock at prices shown on the 

 left. Let us reserve your supply early this 

 year as last year found us sold out long 

 before the season was over.
