The Blue-Blood of the Asparagus World. Extra 
heavy crowns, long fat roots, strong giant size, green 
color. Bunting grown. 
Originated by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture and for years considered the 
best variety of asparagus grown. All of 
the commercial growers are planting 
Washington exclusively. Very strong 
grower, stock of giant size, green color, 
rich and tender. It is our opinion that the 
two principal good points of this variety are, that it is rust-resist- 
ant, also a stronger grower than any of the old standards of as- 
paragus.

New PARADISE Variety 

Sensational new, early maturing variety. Produces a normal 
crop in many instances one year earlier than ordinary varieties. 
Growers who have seen this asparagus growing have been amaz- 
ed to see the straight, crisp, large stalks that were produced from 
roots set the previous spring. An exceptionally strong, vigorous 
grower. Large, crisp, tender stalks with exceptionally fine, mild 
flavor. With today's trend of freezing vegetables for the market, 
it has another distinct advantage in that it retains its fresh flavor 
after freezing. Because it brings returns one year earlier than other 
varieties, and because of iis great size, large crop and fine, mild 
flavor, plant Paradise in your Defense Garden this spring.

Above illustration features a bunch of asparagus tips 
cut from a planting of Bunting’s superior strain asparagus 
crowns. We grow each year a million or more superior 
strain asparagus crowns for the more discriminating class 
of commercial asparagus growers and gardeners. Include 
in your order for your Defense Garden this year some as- 
paragus. There is nothing more delicious and healthful 
than freshly cut new asparagus tips from your own gar- 
den. 
We are the largest growers of asparagus plants in 
America. The seed from which our plants are grown is 
selected from a pedigreed field; it is hand-picked from the 
sturdiest stalks in the field, assuring you of the best strain 
of asparagus possible when you buy Buntings’ plants.
