Grow asparagus and harvest as much as $1000 per acre. It's an early 
spring cash crop, bringing money in early spring. One planting lasts a 
lifetime. We list the Mary Washington, a thrifty, thick grower with 
long, heavy, tender stalks. An excellent variety for home or field uses.

RHUBARB 
Everybody likes rhubarb sauce and pies and the rhubarb is so easily 
grown. It takes the place of fruit on the family table at a time when 
fruit is costly. The Victoria variety we are of- 
fering this season has real red stalks, the kind 
that make those attractive pies and sauce. We 
have clump plants for you this year—will sup- 
ply cutting stalks second year. Prices below.
