ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Asparagus is one of the first vegetables to make an appearance 
in the spring, and it sure is a welcome change to the table. There is 
an ever increasing demand for asparagus for canning and freezing. 
Asparagus is easy to grow and a bed once established will continue 
to produce heavy crops for years, if properly cared for. Approxi- 
mately 50 to 150 plants are adequate for the family garden. These 
roots are not grown by me, but are purchased from one of the 
country’s largest growers of nursery stock. Please note that these 
are two year old roots and consequently are much larger than the 
one year old roots commonly offered in other nursery catalogs. 
MARTHA WASHINGTON — 2 year 
A result of select strain breeding, this strain contains much of 
the original Washington characteristics, in addition to having a 
heavier stalk, being a better producer, and being practically blight- 
resistant.

25 for $1.00; 50 for $1.75; 100 for $3.00. All postpaid. 
RHUBARB ROOTS 
Everyone knows of this favorite spring tonic that seems to 
thrive with practically no care. These roots, planted this spring, will 
furnish a few stalks next Spates Try a couple of plants in the corner 
of your garden.

RASPBERRY PLANTS 
With the advent of the home freezer, raspberries have in- 
creased tremendously in popularity, with many new varieties being 
introduced each year. I have two of the better known varieties to 
offer this spring. 
CHIEF 
Chief produces a medium large fruit of bright red color, that 
is tops for quick freezing. A heavy producer, Chief is nearly im- 
mune to mosaic and mildew diseases and is an offspring of Latham 
that ripens 10 days earlier than Latham. The leading early variety.
