ASPARAGUS 
Easy lo Grow-and So Good for You 
ONE PLANTING LASTS MANY YEARS 

MARY WASHINGTON—This Giant Asparagus, 
the result of years and years of plant breeding 
work done by the United States Department of 
Agriculture, is everywhere admitted to be the 
finest asparagus grown. Mary Washington seems 
to be the ideal asparagus as it is rust-resistant 
and surpasses all other varieties in yield and 
quality. Its enormous tender shoots of vivid 
dark green retain their tenderness and do not 
branch until well above cutting height. 
Our 3 year asparagus are truly fine. They are 
transplanted stock, very heavy and strong roots 
that will give fast growth and the earliest pos- 
sible, time saving production.

How to Grow Asparagus 
Plant 12 to 18 inches apart in rows spaced at 
from 2 to 4 feet, the distance depending upon 
the method of cultivation and the space avail- 
able. A trench should be dug so that the plants 
may be set with the crowns at least 6 inches 
below the ground level. The roots should be 
well spread—fan-like, horizontally—and only 
enough soil put back into the trench to cover 
the crowns one inch. If the trench is filled at 
this time the plants will probably be smothered. 
As the shoots start growth and attain some 
height, the trench may be gradually filled in. 
No stalks should be cut the first 2 years. Fer- 
tilize heavily for largest crops.

RHUBARB 
The New Chipman’s 
CANADA RED RHUBARB 
A new introduction from Canada, this variety 
is unquestionably the most beautifully colored, 
all red stem of any rhubarbs now grown. Stems 
are dark red way to the center and carry the 
color up into the leaf veins. Makes a beautiful, 
deep red sauce of sweet, mild flavor. Stocks 
very limited. 
Strong divisions 90c each; 2 for $1.75; 5 for $4.00 
MacDONALD—The finest of the large stalked, 
high quality rhubarbs. The planter who wants 
a rhubarb of high quality—good red color and 
heavy yield of large. stocks, will find nothing 
better than MacDonald. 
RUBY—A heavy producer with much higher 
eoloring and better quality than McDonald. 
It excels all older Rhubarbs (Strawberry in- 
cluded) for cullinary uses because of its mild- 
ness and strong color. Stalks are somewhat 
smaller than those of McDonald. Plant Ruby 
freely for health-giving Rhubarb sauce, pies, 
and preserves.

How to Grow Rhubarb 
Plants should be set 2 to 3 feet apart in rows 
3 to 4 feet from each other. In the home 
grounds they may be tucked into openings in 
the border, or in corners or out of way places. 
The ground should be well enriched and spaded 
up. Set the root with the crown just below 
the surface. No stalks should be pulled the 
first year and only a few the second year. 
Mulching the ground with rotted manure in 
the fall and spading it into the soil in the 
spring will greatly increase production and the 
size and quality of the stalk. Plant only superior 
varieties as Ruby, McDonald and Canada Red.
