SEEDS—TREE'S—ROSES—SHRUBS—BULBS—EVERGREENS, ETC., SHENANDOAH, IA. 
Now we introduce to you for the first time a fitting 
mate to the extra hardy Chinese Yellow Apricot. This new 
one is known as Montgamet. Plant one each of these two 
extra hardy varieties in order to secure the most delicious 
fruit. Just as hardy as the hardiest peaches. Apricots 
should be planted on a northern or western slope 15 to 
20 feet apart. 
CHINESE YELLOW APRICOT. The hardiest Apricot! 
About 80% of the commercial apricot plantings in Utah 
and Idaho are of this variety. Is very popular due to 
its hardiness, its strong, vigorous growing habits and 
heavy bearing qualities. 
The fruit is of excellent quality, deep yellow with 
a wonderful red cheek. Fruit is large, 2 inches in 
diameter, and if the tree is pruned back each season, 
produces heavy annual crops. You can grow the same 
apricots that are used by canners in your own back 
yard or orchard if you plant Chinese. 
MONTGAMET. This is another new and very pro 
ductive apricot for the Middle West. It’s hardy, 
starts fruiting early, bears large crops and has 
large fruit. It is a pure yellow fruit, a variety 
of unexcelled quality. Far superior to any other 
variety except the famous Chinese. Sweet and 
delicious.

Grow Fresh, Tender 
Asparagus Tips Quickly 
My Asparagus plants are heavy 
and vigorous, grown on the very 
best of soil and are sound and 
healthy. Under ordinary circum¬ 
stances you should be able to cut 
stalks' from my two-year plants after 
the first year. Do not plant in wet soil. 
Plant deep enough so the crowns will be 
covered by 3 to 4 inches of rich soil. 
NEW WASHINGTON RUST PROOF. The 
best in Asparagus; it is a rust resistant strain. 
My stock is of the highest yielding plants. If 
you want a choice bed of Asparagus, try this 
New Washington. Postpaid.

Order Early 
RHUBARB (Pie Plant) 
The first plant to furnish fresh sauce and pie 
in the Spring is Rhubarb. It grows from a root 
like a peony, and will last forever, or practically 
so. Rhubarb likes rich soil, and heavily manured 
soil will produce many juicy stalks. Plant in rows 
4 feet apart with roots 3 feet apart in row. 
BIG SEEDLESS 
This variety is practically seedless, and is propa¬ 
gated from root divisions and not. from seed. It is 
juicier because the stalks do not spend their vitality 
and time in developing a seed crop. Stalks that do 
come from seed are inclined to get woody at certain 
times of the year. 20c each; 3 for 50c; 6 for 85c; 12 
for $1.50 postpaid. 
GIANT VICTORIA. (Wine Plant.) This is the largest 
and best of the seedling varieties. Good, heavy 
Stalks, juicy stems. Rich wine red in color. 5 for 
40c; 70c per 10; $1.50 per 
25; $4.75 per 100, postpaid.

Well Satisfied 
"I am one of your really old cus¬ 
tomers. The fruit trees I bought 
from you 15 years ago have paid 
for themselves many times over. 
We always have plenty of fruit."
