ment Station as a top quality asparagus for

with uniform green color to the ground. Most

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. 
FARIBO F1 HYBRID — A true F 1 Hybrid producing heavier stalks for 
better quality, greater yield and ease of handling. Many years of work 
was required in crossing and selecting to develop this top quality strain. 
You will like it — it’s the best! Top size 1 yr. roots: 25 for $2.00, 50 for 
$3.65, 100 for $6.85 ppd. (Limit 100 roots.) : 
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, $1.25 postpaid.

NEW VALENTINE—The last word in fine Rhubarb. Developed by the On- 
tario Expr. Sta., Canada, it is considered the best of the new ’‘all-red”’ 
varieties. Valentine has the richest color, the best flavor, and the fewest 
seed stalks of all the new red pie and sauce producers. Choice roots, 
$1.00 each, 3 for $2.50, 6 for $4.50, postpaid. 
CHIPPMAN’S CANADA RED — Very sweet, 
tender, of fine flavor, bright red, the color ex- 
tending to the mid-rib of the leaf. Does not 
lose its bright color in cooking, and both pie 
and sauce are an appetizing cherry-red. Re- 
quires less sugar. Strong roots. 85c each, 3 for 
2.25, 6 for $4.25, prepaid. 
MACDONALD RED — Produces heavy succu- 
lent stalks or red and green, flesh white, fine 
grained, low in acid, with a mild rich flavor. 
Plants are strong growing and remain tender 
a long time. Macdonald requires less sugar 
and has an appetizing color when cooked. 
Choice roots: 75c each, 3 for $1.95, 6 for $3.35, 
prepaid.

ing roots have clear white 
disease-free flesh. Grate up

snow. It is just as important 
to change planting stocks in 
growing Horse-Radish as it is 
in growing potatoes to main- 
tain best quality and yields. 
Price: 12 for 45c, 50 for $1.25, 
100 for $2.25, prepaid.
