Midseason.

ness and flavor throughout the winter. Early midseason.

varieties and still remains such for all late varieties. The berries 
which ripen late, are large and irregular in shape, glossy dark 
red and very good in quality. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
Everbearing strawberries produce a spring crop 
and usually a late summer crop. Though their an¬ 
nual yield is no greater than that of standard varieties, 
picking can be continued for several months. Usually 
they produce a crop the first year. The initial blossoms 
or stems should be removed for a period of from sixty 
to eighty days to increase number of runners and 
strength of plant. 
GEM 
A new variety of outstanding merit. Its large, well rounded 
berries are of medium red color with a rich sprightly flavor. 
Bears continuously from the end of regular season to late fall.

the older varieties. You will enjoy picking the out-of-season 
berries. Produces an abundant yield of beautiful red berries. 
Texture is fine but juicy and rich in flavor. 
WAYAZATA 
A new everbearer that is' a money maker. Berries are ex¬ 
tremely large, a very brilliant red with vivid green hulls; Flavor 
is like that of the wild strawberry. Without doubt the most luscious 
tasting berry ever produced. Heavy producers bearing long after 
other everbearers have been stopped by frosts. Extremely hardy 
and disease resistant. 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is the earliest and the finest of spring 
vegetables, ready to market before everything else. 
It requires little care and is easy to plant. A properly 
planted bed will produce large crops every spring for 
many years. 
PLANTING 
A furrow should be dug or plowed about 8 inches 
deep and the plant set 18 inches apart in the bottom 
of the furrow. The trench should then be partially- 
filled with 2 inches of soil. After the plants start to 
grow more soil should be added gradually until the 
trench is filled and the shoots are above the ground. 
For field culture, rows should be spaced 5 feet apart; 
for garden culture 2 feet is sufficient. Planting should 
be made in spring only. About 5000 plants are needed 
per acre. For the average home garden we recom¬ 
mend about 100 plants. 
MARY WASHINGTON 
We offer Mary Washington as being the finest of all. This 
variety was introduced by the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture and was the result of many years of breeding. It has gained so 
iast in popularity that it outsells all other varieties. Stalks large, 
oval and tender, with green tips. The plants are rust resistant and 
very productive. 
RHUBARB

out peeling has a high crimson color. Flavor pleasantly acid but 
sweet. An unsurpassed commercial variety commanding premium
