Asparagus, Rhubarb, Nuts The Linn County Nurseries 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is one of the first spring vegetables ready to use and one of 
the most wholesome. Plant it along the fence or border where a heavy appli- 
eation of barnyard fertilizer can be easily applied after the cutting season. 
The growing plants are attractive and fit well into the home planting. Do 
not cut the first year, nor continuously after June lst so the plants can store 
up a reserve for the next spring.

PARADISE. A very superior variety, fine quality, rust $ .60 $ 4.50 
resistant, and enormously productive. 
RHUBARB 
Rhubarb should be given the richest soil and a location where it need not 
be disturbed for a long time. Each fall apply rotted cow manure or other 
fertilizer. No other plant will produce so much wholesome food and with 
so little attention as do these new kinds. We now offer only the new Canadian 
varieties and at prices cheap enough that one cannot afford to grow the old 
kinds which require so much sugar. The new kinds are mild enough to save 
the cost of the plants over and over, requiring so much less sugar. They can 
be used throughout the season and are the very best substitute for fruit, never 
being completely destroyed by a late freeze as the fruit crop. occasionally is. 
Do not use from a young plant till it is established and builds up a reserve. 
These varieties do not go to seed and ripen up like the old kinds, but con- 
tinue to grow and are usable thru the whole summer.
