MARY WASHINGTON Mf ^wr'teavy 



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- 



auction. 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.

 Red 



RHUBARB 



RHUBARB is a very popular peren- 

 nial where winters are sufficiently cold 

 to freeze ground 3 to 4 inches. A few 

 plants well tended make an excellent 

 supply of sauce and pies. 



We offer only the MacDonald Red 

 variety because of its marked super- 

 iority. Matures earlier, sweeter, and 

 one planting lasts a lifetime.
