Conover’s Colossal While there are many varieties of asparagus planted 
and grown, this is regarded by growers and ship¬ 
pers in general to be much superior to any of the older sorts. 
It is of large size, tender, and of fine quality. Aside from being valuable for 
market and shipping purposes, we highly recommend it for home use. 
We believe every home where sufficient ground can be found there should 
be an asparagus bed, as this is one of the most delicate and delicious vege¬ 
tables, when properly grown and picked, that is to be had. 
Palmetto p bis 1S recognized among asparagus growers as a leader. It is 
of large size, very tender and a regular grower. On account of 
its earliness it is highly valued for market purposes. 
Palmetto is considered a great favorite in the family garden coming as it 
does at a time when vegetables are scarce. 
We do not hesitate to recommend this variety as its fine qualities, as well 
as its heavy producing records, are seldom equalled by any other. 
RHUBARB 
MyatPs Linnaeus Rhubarb 0ne of the best of the old varieties which has 
r . , been so extensively planted. While other 
sorts, of late years, have been introduced Myatt’s Linnaeus is still a leader. 
Its tenderness and fine flavor is superior to any of the other varieties. Its 
earliness is also in its favor, as it comes at a time when fruits are scarce, and 
is v cry acceptable to housewives in general for the making of sauce, pies, etc. 
We recommend it as one of the best and earliest and would suggest that it 
be planted in every family garden.

Burbank’s Crimson Winter Rhubarb one the valuable intro- 
, c 4 ~ ^ ... . T . . ductions of Luther Burbank, 
of banta Rosa, California. It is of large size, stocks often averaging twelve to 
eighteen inches in length and one inch in diameter. It is a beautiful crimson 
green in color, and of the very finest quality. 
Where planted throughout California and kept moist it will produce abun¬ 
dantly at any season of the year. It has been known to grow vigorously in 
October and produpe all through the winter season. In colder regions, how¬ 
ever, such as Oregon, it does not produce in the winter, but the first opening 
of spring finds the shoots coming through the ground. 
We highly recommend this variety for growing both in the family garden 
and for commercial purposes.
