Paradise Asparagus 
NEW 
PARADISE 
ASPARAGUS 
For Greater Yield 
and 
Unusually Mild Flavor 
The introduction of Paradise 
asparagus marks the greatest 
advancement in asparagus since 
the Washington varieties were 
introduced several years ago. 
The biggest factors in favor of 
Paradise are that it produces 
much heavier crops and the 
flavor is greatly improved. The 
oldest producing field of Para¬ 
dise asparagus in California is 
producing just about double the 
crops gotten from other vari¬ 
eties on similar land and with 
similar care. It sells at top 
prices and meets a very good 
demand because of its good ap¬ 
pearance and mild flavor. The 
strong astringent taste common 
in other varieties, is entirely 
lacking in Paradise. 
If you are raising asparagus for 
profit, you should investigate 
this variety, for if you can 
double your tonnage with no 
more expense than a little ad¬ 
ditional for plants, you can 
easily see what it will do to 
your profits. 
If you are not ready this season, 
save a space and prepare for it 
next year. This is another good 
opportunity to raise a crop that 
will make you money. 
If you grow asparagus only for 
your own use, you can plant 
Paradise and get more and bet¬ 
ter asparagus, from the same 
space and with less effort. 
TRY IT. 
Prices—1 Doz. 50c; 50 for $2.00; 
100 for $3.50; 1000 for $30.00. 
These views taken as men are cutting in 
the field, show the vigorous growth and 
productiveness of the New Paradise As¬ 
paragus. 
THE NEW BABCOCK PEACH 
The Sure Crop Peach 
The most important feature of the Babcock is that it will 
bear a crop every year regardless of winter temperatures. 
This was proven definitely in past seasons when because of 
the mild winter the Babcock and the C. O. Smith varieties 
were the only ones to bear a uniformly good crop. Most 
Peaches, whenever we have a very mild winter with some 
warm weather in February, leact unfavorably and do not set 
a normal crop, so that a crop is lost on most varieties about 
every third or fourth year. 
Entirely aside from the above feature, Babcock is an excel¬ 
lent Peach. It ripens early, in the latter part of June when 
Peaches are still very scarce, is white fleshed, has a beauti¬ 
ful red cheek, and is of exceptionally high quality, being 
sweet, juicy and richly flavored, much superior to most other 
early Peaches which are frequently rather watery. The 
New Babcock is a freestone variety. 
For crop insurance the Babcock should be fertilized heavily 
about February or March using a mixture containing a large 
percentage of phosphates. It is advisable to keep the tree 
open and to pick the fruit when color begins to show, allow¬ 
ing them to ripen off the tree. The Babcock fruit will 
not fall off.

THE NEW PEACH, RIO OSO GEM 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 84. 
This splendid new Peach is somewhat similar in appearance 
to the famous J. H. Hale but ripens two weeks later and is 
equal in appearance and much superior in quality to that 
variety. The fruit is very large, round, and brilliant dark 
crimson in color shading out to orange-red. The flesh is 
yellow, firm, and has as fine a flavor as any Peach you ever 
ate. Very firm and keeps well. Because of its wonderful 
size, appearance and quality and because it ripens between 
J. H. Hale and Salway when few good freestone Peaches 
are available, it is being widely planted for both home and 
market purposes. 
4- to 6-foot trees, 70c each; 10 for $6.00. 
If desired shipped by mail add 10c per tree for postage. 
THE NEW ROBERTSON WASHINGTON NAVEL ORANGE 
Similar in appearance and equal in color, tenderness, flavor and juiciness to the finest 
Washington Navel, the new Robertson Navel orange further has the remarkable advan¬ 
tage of bearing year after year much larger crops than the older variety. The fruit gains 
so rapidly in size that by June it has outgrown the “June drop”; therefore, there are no 
off-years. Insure heavy crops every year—plant Robertson Navei oranges. 
Prices: One-year trees, $3.00 each; 10 for $27.50. 
NEW MARIPOSA PLUM 
Plant Patent No. Ill 
A new Blood Plum so much of an 
improvement over the Satsuma 
that, you can rest assured, it will 
rapidly supplant that old favorite. 
Barge, round, and maroon red 
fruit — deep red flesh all the way 
through, honey - like sweet, and 
with abundant juice, yet quite 
firm. Truly a fruit of magnificent 
flavor with no bitterness to either 
skin or pit. 
4- to 6-foot trees 75c each; 
10 for $6.50. 
If desired shipped by mail add 10c 
per tree for postage. 
NEW THORNLESS LOGANBERRY 
Plant Patent No. 82 
Another season’s experience simply proves 
the claims made for this late introduction. 
For the home garden or the grower it ranks 
appreciably higher than the common Logan¬ 
berry. 
Three points of difference stand out. It is 
earlier, produces over a longer period, and 
is more prolific. Thus you have fruit to 
pick earlier and for a longer time and you 
also have more berries. In addition it makes 
stronger canes and more vigorous plants. 
The berries are larger with the same tang 
and flavor and the vines are ABSOLUTELY 
THORNLESS. 
35c each; 3 for $1.00; 10 for $2.50; 
100 for $20.00. Postpaid.
