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 asparagus 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 the 

 rust-proof Washington 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 Wash- 

 ington 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. 



M©W ^aS*adiSC Tnis new varietv is creating quite 

 a sensation among the commercial 

 asparagus growers and is proving to be the greatest advance 

 made in asparagus since the introduction of the Washington 

 Strains. Very vigorous, producing a paying crop a year earlier 

 than the Washington. Stalks larger and more productive with a 

 very delightful flavor.
