GARDEN ROOTS from ANDREWS 
MacDONALD RED RHUBARB 
MacDonald is a snappy “new model” Rhubarb. The attractive features are the new bright 
red color combination and a “pick up” that will surprise you. It “gets into high” so quickly 
that you can cut stalks from it a year sooner than you can from the old style green-stalked 
varieties. 

Another great improvement in the new MacDonald is its 4 
excellent quality, sweeter than common Rhubarb and re- » fil 
quiring less sugar. 
Plant some of this splendid Red Rhubarb this year. It fiona 
yields heavily and lasts a lifetime. When once you have oy, 
tried MacDonald you will grow no other. 
Prof. L. G. Bunting, MacDonald College, Quebec, where 
this variety was originated, writes: “MacDonald is very 
highly colored, attractive, red stalk, of large size, pro- 
ductive, very tender and succulent, and of excellent quality, 
and particularly valuable for pies and desserts. Its color, 
when cooked without peeling, is as attractive as that of 
raspberries.” 




















“Hardy Fruits’ Magazine, Winnipeg, Canada, describes 
MacDonald as follows: “MacDonald requires less sugar for 
cooking than any of the old standard varieties.” Prices on 
page 34-E. 
RUBY RED RHUBARB 
Another new Red Rhubarb introduced from Canada. 
The stalks are intensely red as the name implies—even the 
inside of the stalk is red. Rhubarb sauce made from Ruby 
is as red as strawberry sauce. The skin is so tender it can 
be cooked with the stalk. Both Ruby and MacDonald are 
money-makers on the market because they sell on sight at 
a premium over common Rhubarb. Prices on page 34-E.

A brand new Rhubarb imported from Canada. Stems 
dark red clear to heart and up in the leaf. Produces the

PARADISE ASPARAGUS 
Produces a normal crop one year earlier than any other variety. Growers who 
have seen this Asparagus growing have been amazed to see the straight, crisp, large 
stalks that were produced from plants set only the year before. An exceptionally 
strong, vigorous producer. Some growers say it produces twice the crop of ordinary 
Asparagus. Only six to eight stalks needed to make a pound. This variety is every 
bit as rust-resistant as the Martha Washington. Has an unusually pleasant, milder 
flavor than ordinary Asparagus and is preferred by most who taste it. With today’s 
trend of freezing aes hee for the market, it has another distinct advantage because 
it retains its fresh flavor after freezing. Because it brings returns one year earlier 
than other varieties and because of its great size, large crop, and fine, mild flavor, 
this NEW variety will quickly supersede all others on the market for home-garden 
use, commercial production and shippers. Prices on page 33-J.
