GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS 
Gooseberries and Currants are fruits whose merits for the home garden and local mar- 
ket are not fully appreciated. They are easy to grow, and they occupy only a small 
amount of space. They may be grown on places too shady for other plants, thus per- 
mitting complete utilization of a limited garden area. 
Our Gooseberries and Currants are self-fruitful. Plant them 4 ft. apart. They are very 
hardy. Heavy, annual crops are the rule, and strong, 2-year-old plants may produce 
some fruit the first year planted.

ferred.

RHUBARB 
We have an excellent supply of extra heavy Rhubarb roots. You may cut a small 
crop this spring and they will produce their first full crop the following year. Rhubarb 
roots require well fertilized soil for best results. We suggest that you apply Ra-Pid-Gro 
(see page 4). Plant them 3 ft. apart.

MYATT’S LINNAEUS. The leading variety for commercial planting, excellent for home use. Bears

ASPARAGUS 
It takes only a little room to grow your own Asparagus. 100 plants, set 1 ft. apart, (in 
rows 3 ft. apart) will provide an average family supply. Before you plant, fork the soil 
deeply, pulverize it, and open up flat-bottomed trenches 8 inches deep. Spread the 
roots out and cover with 2 or 3 inches of soil. As the season progresses, hoe shallowly 
to keep down the weeds, and gradually fill in all the trenches so the bed will be level 
again by fall.
