Don’t Neglect the Home Qarden 
There is no greater pleasure and no greater money-saver than for the home owner to create a vegetable 
garden in his own back yard in which he may plant vegetables of his own choosing and, with a little care, 
produce enough vegetables to keep the home larder full throughout the growing season. 
No garden is complete without its quota of Asparagus and Rhubarb, the only two items which space will 
permit us listing and describing in this catalogue. Our full line of vegetables is included in another booklet 
which you may have on request. 
ASPARAGUS 
Plenty of Asparagus for q family of six can be grown on a plot 12 feet by 16 feet. 
In small gardens the Asparagus bed can be placed in one corner or along the fence. 
The crowns of plants should be 8 inches below the surface and the roots well spread 
out. Space them 12 inches apart in rows 3 feet wide for garden culture. For field cul¬ 
ture, plants should be spaced 18 inches apart in rows 6 to 8 feet apart. An Asparagus 
bed, properly cared for, will produce good results for 17 years. Our 3-year size roots 
will produce Asparagus the first year set. 
MARTHA WASHINGTON. A strain selected from the Washington variety, much heavier 
stock, a greater producer than the original Washington variety. Practically blight- 
resistant. 
PEDIGREED WASHINGTON. This new variety is the first result of a blister proof cam¬ 
paign for the eradication of Asparagus rust. As far as possible a resistant, vigorous, 
and high yielding Asparagus. The tips are of uniform size with good top buds of 
rapid growth. Exceptionally tender and delicious.

MARYLAND GOLDEN. We are only listing one va¬ 
riety of sweet potato plant, as we consider the 
New Maryland Golden far superior to any va¬ 
riety now on the market, it having produced this 
past year on our farms, where we grow no other 
variety, 400 bushels of number one potatoes to 
the acre. Every market in the country receiving 
Maryland Golden has praised it highly, the daily 
market reports in such markets as Pittsburgh, 
New York, Detroit and Cleveland quote this va¬ 
riety from 25 to 40 cents premium over any 
other. The color is just what the market wants, 
a deep rich golden yellow, with a slight pinkish 
cast, holding its color perfectly when cooked. 
It is not of the dry type like Little Stem Jersey, 
or of the wet type like the Yam, being only 
slightly moist at any state of maturity. This 
variety was originated at the Maryland State 
Agricultural College in 1930, a few of these 
plants being distributed in 1931 for testing. It 
created a sensation among the sweet potato 
growers of this section to such an extent that 
at the present time plants are very scarce, and 
meet with a ready sale. We are offering our 
customers, in limited quantities only, plants 
grown from certified seed, and would advise 
anyone interested in growing sweet potatoes for 
market or home use to set some of this variety. 
You will be pleased with them.

RHUBARB 
Rhubarb pie and sauce have just 
the right tartness and flavor that one 
desires during the first days of spring. 
Rhubarb is easily grown, and 6 to 1 0 
hills will supply the average family. 
Any out-of-the-way place will be suit¬ 
able for Rhubarb. Hills should be 
spaced 4 feet apart, and about every 
7 years the hills should be divided, 
and roots reset. 
MYATT'S LINNAEUS. Large, tender and 
fine, one of the very best to plant, makes 
good sauce and pies. 
QUEEN. Extra strong grower of large stocks 
of a pink color. For cooking in any way 
its quality is unsurpassed.
