ASPARAGUS 
We have been successful growers of Asparagus for many years, and 
have always tried to give our customers the best varieties on the 
market. 
MARY WASHINGTON (Rust-Proof). This new variety, offered 
to the public but a short time, has been approved by the best of 
horticulturists as the most rust-resistant Asparagus grown. This 
variety grows rapidly, and produces tall, slender stalks unexoelled 
for table use. 1-yr., $1.00 per 100, prepaid; $5.00 per 1000, not 
prepaid. 2-yr., $1.25 per 100, prepaid; $7.00 per 1000, not 
prepaid. 
RHUBARB 
MYATT’S LINNAEUS. The sweetest and most tender variety, 
delicious for sauce and pies. Easily grown and very productive, 
plant several roots this spring. 1-yr., prepaid, 25 for $1.00; 
100 for $3.00. 
HORSERADISH 
The good old kind that doesn’t need a description. Crowns, 6 
for 25c.; per hundred $2.50. 
SAGE 
One of the best herbs for seasoning. Good strong roots, 15c each. 
When the balmy 
breeze rides in on a sun¬ 
beam from thesouth land 
what a satisfaction it is to 
know the rhubarb will 
soon furnish pie timber, 
and the tender juicy 
shoots of asparagus will 
furnish greens for a 
change.

Plants and Trees by Parcel Post 
We strongly urge the advantage of our Parcel Post system for hand¬ 
ling small quantities and the smaller size plants and trees. 
We can send by Parcel Post all Strawberry plants in quantities of 1000 
and less. Grape vines, raspberry and blackberry plants in lots of 100 and 
less. Currants and gooseberries, both one and two-year-old, in lots of 25 
or less. One-year-old fruits and ornamental trees and shrubs, roses, also 
Holland bulbs, peonies, iris, and perennial plants. 
The two larger grades of trees cannot be sent by Parcel Post. How¬ 
ever, we call attention to the fact that express rates on nursery stock 
have been reduced about 25 per cent, which will be quite a saving to you 
on the larger size trees. 
We prepay the postage on all Parcel Post shipments, and your plants 
are laid right down at your door. 
GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS—If any nursery stock, etc., 
proves untrue to description under which it is sold, we hold our¬ 
selves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all such nursery 
stock, etc., that proves otherwise or refund the amount paid, but 
shall in no case be liable for any sum greater than the amount 
originally received for said nursery stock. 
STATE CERTIFIED STOCK—Certificate of Nursery Inspection, 
No. 153, furnished with every shipment. 
HELP YOUR FRIENDS—After you have read this book from cover 
to cover, please pass it along to someone you know that is interested. 
You will be doing them a favor as you will learn after you plant Welch’s 
Trees. Thank you.
