The New 
RED RHUBARBS 
A Welcome Addition to the Early Spring Diet 
Refreshing and Healthful 
Plant the Three Varieties Listed Below 
MacDONALD RED 
One of the first of the outstanding red Rhubarbs to come out of Canada, 
the MacDonald is probably still the most widely planted. Its best features 
are its bright red color, and the speed with which it gets into production. 
It “gets into hgh” so quickly that you can cut salks from it a year sooner 
than you can from the old style green-stalked varieties. 
Another great improvement in the new MacDonald is its good quality, 
sweeter than common Rhubarb and requiring less sugar. 
Plant some of this splendid red Rhubarb this year. It yields heavily and 
lasts a lifetime. Prices, postpaid: 2 for $1.10; 6 for $3.00; 60c each 
VALENTINE 
The Newest— Richest— Best Flavored

the lead among the red Rhubarbs. The Dominion Experiment Station at 
Morden, Manitoba, Canada, tested 25 of the leading varieties. Six persons 
tested the cooked product under number. The Morden Station, reporting 
on the test, said: ““Walentine sauce was rated highest. The color was an even deep bright red. Tex- 
ture was smooth and tender. Flavor was pleasing with a slightly tart after taste. All testesacr dak II

A new Asparagus which will produce a 
normal crop a year earlier than any other 
variety. An exceptionally strong, vigorous 
producer. Some growers say it produces 
twice the crop of ordinary Asparagus. With 
today’s trend toward freezing vegetables, 
the Paradise takes on added significance be- 
cause it retains its fresh flavor after freezing. 
Greener, better flavored and more tender, 
Paradise is becoming the most popular As-
