MARY WASHINGTON «-« rop^Iar „f A1. This heavy yield- 



ing 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 WASHING- 

 TON 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. 



MPTJ[7 P AR ADISF* Preferred for Early Production. A new variety 



that has created sensational reports from as- 

 paragus 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 qualities of Mary 

 Washington including vigorous growth, large stalks and exceptional rust 

 resistance. Present records indicate it will begin volume production sooner 

 and is therefore favored by most home gardeners. i 



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.
