Tender, Fresh 



From Your Own Plantings 

 Year After Year 



The best eastern variety for home and com- 

 mercial phinting- is the disease resistant MARY 

 WASHINGTON. We sell only the famous Robert's 

 strain which is the best asparaj^ns money can buy. 

 It produces shoots of finest cpiality, more uniform 

 in size, shape and color than others. 



50 to 100 roots supply an average family. 200 

 roots will take care of canning, 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 ."> pounds 

 of 10-6-4 fertilizer per 100 scpiare feet has been add- 

 ed. Spread the roots in a trench about 6 Inches 

 deep and 8 inches wide. Place plants about 10 

 inches apart and cover crowns with about 2 inches 

 of soil. As plants begin to make new growth grad- 

 ually till the trench. 



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

RHUBARB 



I- ^^ — 



RHUBARB is a very popular peren- 

 nial where winters are sufficiently cold 

 to freeze ground 8 to 4 inches. A few 

 plants well tended make an excellent 

 supply for sauce and pies. 



We offer the McDonald Red variety 

 because of its marked superiority. Ma- 

 tures earlier, sw^eeter, and one planting 

 lasts a lifetime. Plant in Spring, 3 to 

 4 feet apart. Rhubarb culture is given 

 in Bulletin No. 18.

VICTORIA RHUBARB 



For those who want vigorous, seedling rhu- 

 barb roots we recommend the well known Vic- 

 toria variety. These whole roots will soon be- 

 come established 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. 



Strong 1 yr. whole roots, 1 to 1^4 inch di- 

 ameter: 5 for $1.50; 10 for $2.50. Shipping 

 weight 1 lb. per 5 roots.

HORSE - RADISH 



This is the old fashioned Maliner Kren va- 

 riety that is very vigorous and develops such 

 large firm roots. Grows best in moist, cool 

 soils of reasonably fertility. If you like horse- 

 radish you will surely want to try this excel- 

 lent variety. A few roots will soon develop 

 into a fine bed that will last for years. 



Vigorous whole roots about 6 to 8 inches 

 long: 5 for $1.50; 10 for $2.50. Shipping 

 weight 1 lb. for 5 roots.
