ASPARAGUS 



Rayner's Roots Are Finer 



Asparagus is one of the most profitable of the early 

 vegetables and there is an ever-increasing demand for 

 this delicious and healthy vegetable. Rayner's aspara-' 

 gus roots are grown from selected seed on rich, deep 

 soils and have heavy crowns with long thick roots. 

 Good asparagus roots, with proper care are productive 

 for as long as twenty years. So be sure to plant the 

 best, Rayner's Vigorous Roots. 



Big two-year roots will produce stalks large enough 

 for cutting the second year and a big crop each year 

 thereafter. 



MARY WASHINGTON since the introduction 



of rust-proof Washing- 

 ton asparagus by the U.S.D.A., the Mary Washington 

 strain has consistently been the most productive and 

 dependable, and is considered by commercial growers 

 as the best and most profitable. Mary Washington is 

 very early, vigorous and very productive of large shoots 

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

 and color than any of the older sorts. 



NEW PARADISE This new variety is creating 

 quite a sensation among the 

 commercial asparagus growers and is proving to be the 

 greatest advance made in asparagus since the intro- 

 duction of the Washington Strains.. Very vigorous. 

 producing a paying crop a year earlier than the Wash- 

 ington. Stalks larger and more productive with a very 

 delightful flavor.
