THE NEW 
SPARAGUS 
Paradise A 
Truly the greatest improvement in Asparagus, and the most outstanding 
variety ever developed. We predict that within a few short years 
Paradise will largely replace Mary Washington that has so long been 
a standard of excellence. 

Paradise is a tremendous grower, maturing one year earlier, and 
yielding from two to three times as much as other varieties. Those who 
have seen this Asparagus growing have been amazed to see the straight, 
crisp, large stalks that were produced from seed planted only TWO 
YEARS BEFORE. Think what this means to commercial growers who can 
secure a double or triple quantity from the same acreage formerly 
devoted to the older kinds, and can harvest the first crop a year earlier. 
No wonder planting stocks are scarce. Plants have been snapped up 
faster than they can be produced. 
Paradise Asparagus is very similar in appearance to Mary Washing- 
ton; in fact, it was developed as a sport from that variety by an Aspara- 
gus grower in Southern California. The stems are as large and as green. 
Rp reed 
In taste it is milder than other varieties, and a prime favorite with — 
everyone who has eaten it. Like Mary Washington, it is highly resistant 
to rust. Another of the many points in favor of Paradise is that it is 
an excellent variety for freezing. With the recent large increase in 
demand for Asparagus throughout the country, one of the principal out- 
lets will be freezing for the market. The far-sighted grower will choose 
Paradise because it is just as tender, green and fine flavored after 
freezing as it is a few hours after picking. 
Paradise offers greater money-making possibilities than any other 
variety, and is already showing the outstanding popularity it deserves. 
Our supply is entirely of our own growing, from seed bought direct 
from the introducer in California. At the low, wholesale price at which ~ 
we are offering it, we expect to sell out early in the season. NO MORE
