ASPARAGUS 
PARADISE. It produces more, and is less astringent than ordinary asparagus. Since 
we have been growing this variety and serving it in our dining room, and selling 
it in our Roadside Market, we have many customers who stop for this one item and 
will have no other. You should plant at least 25 plants of asparagus, so you will 
have enough to cut at one time for a meal. 50 plants is better for a good-sized 
family. Asparagus is a vegetable that must be cut the very morning it is ready, as 
it will be too old the following morning, but you will find new spears every morn- 
ing. Plant one foot apart in a deep furrow. 
PRICE, PREPAID: 25 for $1.50, 100 for $3.50 
MARY WASHINGTON. This has been the most widely planted variety during the 
past few years. The stems are good quality, green and rust resistant. It starts early

PRICE, PREPAID: 25 for $1.25, 100 for $3. 

Special planting instructions included with each order of plants. 
Help Win the War 
Plant a Victory Garden 
Food is, and will be an important factor in this war. If you will raise part of the 
food your family consumes, you will be helping just that much in the war effort. 
It is your patriotic duty to keep physically fit now. Fresh fruits, berries and vege- 
tables from your own«garden, packed with health-giving vitamins, will help keep 
you and your family fit. 
The exercise and relaxation of a little work in your garden will relieve the nervous 
strain of extra war work. 

With food becoming harder to get and more costly, the baskets of produce from 
your Victory Garden will be more and more welcome in your kitchen, and more 
help to the family budget. 
Yes, for many reasons, we should make an extra effort to grow all the food we can 
this year.
