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 morning. 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 in the spring, is easy to grow, and costs little to plant. 
PRICE, PREPAID: 25 for $1.25, 100 for $3. 

Special planting instructions included with each order of plants. 
Plant A Garden 
Now that the war is over, many of us have a little more time than during 
the war years. It is just good common sense that we should do everything 
possible to keep physically fit. 

The exercise and relaxation of a little work in your garden will relieve the 
nervous strain of your regular work. 
With food becoming more costly, the baskets of produce from your 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.
