Year After Year 
MARY WASHINGTON Most Popular of 
All. This heavy 
yielding strain, developed by the U. S. Dept. of 
Agriculture, is the favorite of commercial growers 
because it has met the need for a highly productive, 
rust-resistant variety. MARY WASHINGTON is 
very early, a strong grower, and produces shoots 
of the finest quality that run more uniform in size, 
shape and color than any of the older selections. 
Asparagus has healthy green color, rich flavor and 
juicy tenderness. 
NEW PARADISE Preferred for Early Pro- 
duction. A new variety 
that has created sensational reports from aspara- 
gus growers because in many instances it produces 
a normal crop one year earlier than other varieties. 
NEW PARADISE is a sport discovered in a Mary 
Washington field. Seems to have all of the qual- 
ities of Mary Washington including vigorous 
growth, large stalks and exceptional rust resist- 
ance. Present records indicate it will begin volume 
production sooner and is therefore favored by most 
home gardeners. 
Asparagus is one of the first vegetables to make 
appearance in the Spring and its succulent, green 
stalks are a welcome change to the table. Because 
of its earliness, asparagus can be depended upon to 
realize a profit and there is an ever increasing de- 
mand for canning and freezing. Asparagus is easy 
to grow and a bed once established will continue to produce heavy crops for 10 to 15 years. 50 
to 150 plants are adequate for the family garden. The most important step is to get plants of 
good quality. Our soil is ideal for developing asparagus roots and you may be assured of 
extra heavy crowns and strong roots when you buy from Rayner Brothers.
