MacDonald Rhubarb Is the Best there Is 35 
NEW RED EVERBEARING RHUBARB 
MACDONALD is the finest of all Rhubarb. The stalks 
are giant in size, twice as large as ordinary Rhubarb. 
Bright red color. Very tender and ‘stays tender a long 
time. It has the richest flavor and also more sugar, 
therefore requires less sweetening when cooked. It 
makes the finest Rhubarb pies and sauce you ever 
tasted. The skin is a bright red, but the inside flesh 
is white, so when the sauce is cooked it has just enough 
tinge of red to make it look appetizing. It is a tremendous 
yielder, that is why we call it everbearing, because as fast 
as you pull one stalk another comes up to take its place. 
You can use it over a much longer period of time than or- 
dinary Rhubarb. The stalks are 18 to 24 inches long, many 
half as thick as your wrist. Nothing you can plant in your 
garden will give you more returns than MacDonald Rhu- 
barb. We recommend it very highly, not only because it is 
healthful, but because it tastes so good. Lasts a lifetime.

New Paradise Asparagus 
MATURES A YEAR EARLIER—PLANT THIS SPRING 
HARVEST FIRST CROP NEXT YEAR! 
For this year we offer this wonderful new variety from 
the market gardens of California—mwhere only the best is 
grown. Again we predict that within a very short time 
Paradise will have supplanted all other kinds, and will be 
the standard market and commercial variety in all sections. 
It is similar in appearance to Mary Washington, and was 
developed as a sport of that variety by an Asparagus grow- 
er in Southern California. Stems are large, same color as 
Mary Washington, and equally resistant to rust. Six to 
eight stalks average a full pound. 
Our plants are all of our own growing—an extra heavy 
yielding strain—from seed bought direct from the intro- 
ducer in California. 
The opportunities for a quick profit from Paradise are 
now greater than ever before. With America calling for 
increased production of all food stuffs, canners are demand- 
ing greater and greater supplies. Paradise fully meets their 
requirements, being especially suitable for both canning and 
freezing under new process.
