VEGETABLE ROOTS 
RUST-PROOF MARY WASHINGTON 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Get your asparagus roots direct from Salzer’s celebrated Clift- 
wood Farms this year! This fine 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 
been bred to resist rust. It lias 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 yiekler. 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 1 V 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 
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) 
This plant should be more widely culti-“ 
vated 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 win¬ 
ter use. We offer only Cliffwood Grown 
Roots, which are noted for their fine qual¬ 
ity and flavor. SalzePiT Chives

HORSERADISH ROOTS 
Instead of purchasing horseradish prepared at the store, 
plant a few of our Cliffwood grown roots this year, grate it 
yourself, and notice 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. Horse¬ 
radish 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.

from your garden in the spring, for making pies and sauces.
