TENDER, FRESH 
| ASPARAGUS 
From Your Own Plantings 
Year After Year 
The best eastern variety for home and commercial 
planting is the disease-resistant MARY WASHING- 
TON. We sell only the famous Robert’s strain, which 
is the best asparagus money can buy. It produces shoots 
of finest quality, more uniform in size, shape and color 
than others. 
50 to 100 roots supply an average family. 200 roots 
will take care of canning and 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 5 lbs. of 10-6-4 fertilizer per 
100 sq. ft. has been added. Spread the roots in a trench 
about 6 in. deep and 8 in. wide. Place plants about 16 in. 
_ apart and cover crowns with about 2 in. of soil. As plants 
_ begin to make new growth, gradually fill the trench. 
Write for Rayner’s Bulletin No. 18 giving full details 
' of Asparagus culture.

VICTORIA RHUBARB 
For those who want vigorous, seedling rhubarb 
roots we recommend the well-known Victoria 
variety. These whole roots will soon become es- 
tablished 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. Prices of 
Victoria Rhubarb: 
Strong 1-yr. whole roots, 1 to 14 in. diam- 
eter: 5 for $1.50; 10 for $2.50. Shipping

HORSERADISH 
This is the old-fashioned Maliner Kren variety 
that is very vigorous and develops such large firm 
roots. Grows best in moist, cool soils of reason- 
able fertility. If you like horseradish, you will 
surely want to try this excellent variety. A few 
roots will soon develop into a fine bed that will 
last for years. 
Vigorous whole roots about 6 to 8 in. 
long: 5 for $1.45; 10 for $2.45. Shipping 
weight 1 Ib. for 5 roots. 
MacDonald RHUBARB is a very popular perennial 
RED R f=] U ie A R B. where winters are sufficiently cold to freeze 
ground 3 to 4in. A few plants well tended 
make an excellent supply for sauce and 
pies. 
We offer the MacDonald Red variety 
because of its marked superiority. Matures 
earlier, sweeter, and one planting lasts a 
lifetime. Plant in spring, 3 to 4 ft. apart.
