RED Rhubarb 



RHUBARB is a very popular perennial 

 where winters are sufficiently cold to freeze 

 ground 3 to 4 in. A few plants well tended 

 make an excellent supply for sauce and 

 pies. 



We offer the MacDonald Red variety 

 because of its marked superiority. Matures 

 earlier, sweeter, and one planting lasts a 

 lifetime. Plant in spring, 3 to 4 ft. apart. 

 Rhubarb culture is given in Bulletin No. 18. 



Prices for Large, Vigorous Divisions 

 $1.50 each; 3 for $4.25; 10 for $12.45. 



VICTORIA RHUBARB 



For those who want vigorous, seedling rhubarb 

 roots we recommend the well-known Victoria 

 variety. These whole roots will soon become es- 

 tablished and produce lots of long, tender, pink 

 stalks that are excellent for home use. Gives best 

 results in cool climates and in fertile, deep soil 

 with a uniform supply of moisture. Prices of 

 Victoria Rhubarb: 



Strong 1-yr. whole roots, 1 to IV2 ii^« 

 diameter: 5 for $3.10; 10 for $5.95. 



HORSERADISH 



This is the old-fashioned Maliner Kren variety 

 that is very vigorous and develops such large firm 

 roots. Grows best in moist, cool soils of reason- 

 able fertility. If you like horseradish, you will 

 surely want to try this excellent variety. A few 

 roots will soon develop into a fine bed that will 

 last for years. 



Vigorous whole roots about 6 to 8 in. 

 long: 5 for $1.95; 10 for $3.50. 



TENDER, FRESH 



Asparagus 



From Your Own Plantings 

 Year After Year 



The best eastern variety for home and commercial 

 planting is the disease-resistant MARY WASHING- 

 TON. We sell only the famous Robert's strain, which 

 is the best asparagus money can buy. It produces shoots 

 of finest quality, more uniform in size, shape and color 

 than others. 



50 to 100 roots supply an average family. 250 roots 

 will take care of canning and freezing needs, too. 



A planting of Rayner's asparagus will yield loads of 

 fine food for many years. Plant early in the spring in 

 fertile soil to which about 5 lbs. of 10-6-4 fertilizer per 

 100 sq. ft. has been added. Spread the roots in a trench 

 about 6 in. deep and 8 in. wide. Place plants about 16 in . 

 apart and cover crowns with about 2 in. of soil. As plants 

 begin to make new growth, gradually fill the trench. 



Write for Rayner's Bulletin No. 18 giving full details 

 of Asparagus culture.
