VEGETABLE ROOTS 
RUST-PROOF MARY WASHINGTON 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Get your asparagus roots direct from Salzer’s celebrated Cliff- 
wood Farms this year! This new variety is so rapidly replacing all 
other strains, that we have discontinued growing any but the Rust- 
Proof Washington Asparagus Roots. The Washington type has 
i)een bred to resist rust. It has thick and heavy shoots, long and 
straight, and closely folded tips. It is a beautiful rich dark green 
color, darker green at the tips, and is a very heavy yielder. You 
will be delighted with both the quality and appearance of this fine 
variety. Growing rapidly, it is the most tender of all! Plant these 
extra large roots and save from IV 2 to 2 years’ time in having your 
bed ready for cutting. Set roots 4 inches deep and 18 inches apart 
in rows about 4 feet wide, fertilizing well with stable manure or 
other fertilizer. The richer the soil, the better the crop. Plant 100 
roots to 15 by 20 foot bed. Two-year-old roots can be cut the fol¬ 
lowing year.

CHIVES (Schnittlauch) 
Tliis plant should be more widely cultivated than it is. 
Chives are grown for the young leaf stems, which have a 
mild onion flavor. Makes a delicious dish, especially when 
prepared with cottage cheese. Also used extensively in 
soups, stews, etc. They are easily grown indoors in pots, 
for winter use. We offer only Cliffwood Grown Roots, 
which are noted for their fine quality and flavor.

SALZER’S 
HORSERADISH ROOTS 
Instead of purchasing- horserad¬ 
ish prepared at the store, plant a 
few of our Cliffwood grown roots 
this year, grate it yourself, and no¬ 
tice the wonderful difference in 
taste. You will only need a trifling 
space for enough horseradish for the 
whole year, but be sure to plant 
Salzer’s Roots. Horseradish does 
best in a rather moist, partly shaded 
location. We offer roots 5 to 6 inches 
long, which we consider the best 
length for planting,

RHUBARB ROOTS 
Rhubarb is about the ear¬ 
liest plant that you can 
pluck from your garden in 
the spring, for making pies 
and sauces. It is not only 
tasty and delicious, but it 
is very healthy, and every 
garden should have a small 
corner devoted to rhubarb. 
Our Cliffwood Grown Roots 
are unexcelled for tender¬ 
ness, quality, appearance 
and flavor. Rhubarb should 
have a partly shaded loca¬ 
tion, to secure best result.
