NEW EAKEY KHUBAKB-“l’AKAGON.” 
NEW E.U{EY BHUBARB-“ PARAGON.” 
This variety, although now offered for the first 
time in this country, has had extensive trial in 
England, and has more than verified the claims 
made for it. It is unquestionably one of the finest 
varieties of Rhubarb over offered, being the earliest 
of all and wonderfully prolific. TIio crowns and 
stalks are prod need in such profusion that more than 
twice the weight can be gathered from “ Paragon ” 
than from any other sort. It has also the qualifica¬ 
tion over all others that it never seeds, a claim 
that we have tested and found well sustained last 
summer. The leaves are remarkably small, while 
in color the stalks are a beautiful bright red, and in 
fiavor unsurpassed. Price, strong plants, 50 cents 
each, by mail, post-paid; six for §2.50, postage 25 
cents extra; twelve, §4.00, postage, 50 cents extra
