Asparagus is easy to grow and you can make big profits from a small space. 50 to 150 plants 
will supply this delicious food for the family. A bed lasts for 10 to 15 years, and you can 
depend on heavy regular crops from our roots. It is most important that you get strong, 
healthy true-to-name plants. We grow them by the thousands from guaranteed tested seed on 
special soil to give you the best planting stock.

Mary Washington—Rust Proof 
Now that canning companies have found 
how to can asparagus and retain all its delic- 
ious flavor and healthful food qualities they 
are contracting for greater supplies every 
year. At the same time there is a rapidly in- 
creasing demand from grocery stores and 
commission merchants for fresh asparagus 
during the summer season. 
$4,000.00 From 4 Acres 
That is what one local grower made from 
his field of asparagus, and shows what can be 
done with the present day asparagus market. 
5,000 roots plant an acre. In this section the 
cutting season is about two months, beginning 
in May before any other cash crop. One year 
plants are preferred by commercial growers. 
There is a steady demand with average 
prices of 5 to 8 cents per pound. You can 
make money growing asparagus now! 
New / Paradise 
* Asparagus 
Bears a Big Crop in Only One Year 
That tells the story of this remarkable new 
Asparagus. It comes into full production 
quickly—no need to wait 2 or 3 years to begin 
cutting. PARADISE was bred and developed 
to do just that. The rapidly increasing de- 
mand for both its plants and stalks as Paradise 
becomes more widely grown, shows that here 
is a popular asparagus variety. It is rust resis- 
tant and produces great, wonderful appearing 
stalks of delicious flavor. Paradise is a most 
promising asparagus for home use and prof- 
itable market sale. We are glad to offer this 
new, early producing, deliciously flavored va- 
riety at these low prices:—1-yr. No. 1 roots: 
12 for 70c; 25 for 90c; 50 for $1.50; 100 for 
$2.40; 250 for $4.90; 1000 for $15.75. 
2-yr. No. 1 roots: 12 for 85c; 25 for $1.20; 
50 for $1.95; 100 for $3.25; 200 for $5.75; 
300 for $7.85; 400 for $9.45.
