are bright colored and of large caliper. Plant them during March, 
April and May. Your choice of the two leading varieties: 
WASHINGTON 
Introduced by the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture, this has long 
been the leading commercial As- 
Paragus. Produces large, tender 
green tips. Mild, rich, full flavor. In 
great demand for shipping, canning, 
freezing. 
Plant the roots 12 inches apart in 
the garden. In the field the rows 
can be 4 feet apart. 5000 roots 
plant an acre. 
PARADISE 
The new giant strain of Asparagus 
from California. Makes long, thick, 
very tender green stalks. Grows 
quickly. Said to bear usable tips a 
year sooher than other kinds. 
Paradise retains its color when 
canned or frozen. Very profitable, 
and just as dependable for home 
and market. Plant the same _ as 
Washington. A hundred roots supply 
the average family for many years.
