The Diabetic’s Potato—and A Valuable Farm Crop 
A valuable food for diabetics and those not permitted to eat starchy 
foods. Tubers can be eaten cooked, or served raw in salads. They 
contain carbohydrates in the form of inulin instead of starch and need 
not be cooked to bring out their food value. Recipe Folder mailed free

and the tubers as feed for cows, chickens and hogs. Dig only what 
5 you need for winter 
storage and leave the 
balance in the ground 
until spring. In storage, 
spread them in layers 
with damp burlap bags 
between layers.

mediate table use.

Asparagus Roots 
Set Roots 15 inches apart 
Plant 15 Roots for each member of the family. 
. Ask for free circular, “How to Grow Asparagus.” 
NEW EARLY PARADISE—A sensational early 
maturing variety—produces normal crop one year 
earlier than other varieties and gives heavier pro- 
duction throughout its life. An exceptionally 
strong, vigorous producer—some growers claim 
it produces twice the crop of ordinary asparagus. 
Tips are large, crisp and tender and of fine mild 
flavor. Retains its delicious flavor when frozen, 
to provide fresh green asparagus in winter. Only 
6 to 8 stalks required to the pound. Price same 
as Mary Washington. 
MARY WASHINGTON—Rust Resistant. Produces 
dark green, thick stalks of beautiful appearance 
when bunched. Tips are firm and tight, and do 
not open out until quite tall. They remain ex- 
tremely tender during the entire cutting season. 
These extra large tips can be cut for two months. Free from rust and other 
asparagus diseases. Once established it will produce fine stalks for many 
years. Robust 1 yr. roots: 25 for $1.10, 50 for $1.75, 100 for $3.25, post- 
paid. Not prepaid; 500 for $9.75. 
MINNESOTA 4-WAY CROSS—A new and better asparagus developed in 
Minnesota by combining in crosses, four selected superior strains of Wash- 
ington Rust Resistant. The number of stalks produced’ per plant averages 
about the same as ordinary Washington strains, however, Minnesota 
4-Way Cross produces larger, heavier stalks so that the number of pounds 
produced per 100 plants averages 30% to 35% higher. It's significantly 
more profitable for market growing and outstanding for the home gardener. 
Supply limited. One year roots: 25 for $1.65, 50 for $3.00, 100 for $5.00, 
postpaid. (Market growers write for quantity prices.) Shipment after April 1. 
BETTER ASPARAGUS... AND NO WEEDS WITH AERO CYANAMID 
Kills weeds in asparagus rows without cultivation during cutting season. 
Here’s the three-purpose asparagus fertilizer! It feeds the crop, kills the 
weeds, and supplies the much needed calcium—all in one easy applica- 
tion! Price: 5-lb. bag, with complete instructions, $1.00 postpaid.

NEW VALENTINE—The last word in fine Rhubarb. Developed by the On- 
tario Experiment Station, Canada, it is considered the best of the new 
“all-ted' varieties. Valentine has the richest color, the best flavor, the 
largest stalks and the fewest seed stalks of all the new red sauce pro- 
ducers. Choice roots, $1.00 each, 3 for $2.50, 6 for $4.50, postpaid. 
CHIPMAN’S CANADA RED—Very sweet, tender, of fine flavor, with extra- 
large stalks, bright red, the red color extending even to the mid-rib of the 
leaf. Does not lose its bright color in cooking, and both sauce and pies 
are an appetizing cherry-red color. This hardy, everbearing type makes 
but few seed stalks. Price: 85c each, 3 for $2.25, 6 for $4.25, prepaid. 
MACDONALD RED—Produces thick, succulent 
stalks, 18 to 24 inches long, with skin so thin 
and tender that peeling is unnecessary. Stalks 
are bright cherry-red from base to top; flesh 
white, fine-grained, low in acid, with a mild, 
rich flavor. Sauces and pies made from Mac- 
Donald require less sugar and have an appe- 
tizing red color when cooked. Remains tender 
a long time.” Choice roots: 75c each, 3 for 
$1.95, 6 for $3.35, prepaid.
