No Garden is Complete 
without RHUBARB and ASPARAGUS 
Rhubarb and Asparagus are about the most 
underrated, easy to grow, and easy to pre- 
pare garden products ever known. It has 
been established that rhubarb is an out- 
standing source of Vitamin C—and the 
first one available in the home garden. 
Asparagus has long been heralded as 
one of the best of all vegetables. - 
It is easy to digest, and a very 
good source of minerals and vita- 
mins. And if you like to freeze 
your vegetables—we know of 
nothing easier to handle. 
Both asparagus and rhubarb are extremely hardy and once planted they 
will produce indefinitely. They grow so well and so easily that often 
we fail to fertilize them. An annual feeding though, makes them more 
valuable to us from a nutritional standpoint. 
It is dificult to buy good fresh rhubarb and asparagus on the mar- 
ket, so why not grow your own? It’s so easy—and no garden is 
complete without them. 
CANADA RED 
The reddest of all the rhubarbs, Canada Red has large, tender 
juicy stalks that are rich red all the way to the heart and even 
to the midribs in the leaves. Canada Red is preferred by those 
who like more tartness in their rhubarb. Canada Red, a 
heavy producer, can be used throughout the season. 
Prices: 2 for $1.85; 6 for $4.85; $1.00 each. We pay 
the Postage. 
Valentine is St and best of 
the red rhubarbs. It is sweetest of all, 
requiring the least sugar. Makes de- 
licious pies and a smooth, tender, 
bright red sauce. Combines rich fla- 
vor, high quality and vigorous 
growth. Excellent for home use and 
freezing. 
A rare taste treat, Valentine was among 25 varieties tested at the Dominion Experiment 
Station, Morden, Manitoba, Canada. Six persons tasted cooked rhubarbs identified 
only by numbers. The Morden Station reports: “Valentine rated highest. Color was 
an even bright red; texture smooth and tender. Flavor was pleasing with a slightly 
tart after-taste. All testers accorded Valentine the highest standard.” Prices: 2 for $2.25; 
6 for $6.00; $1.25 each. We pay the Postage.
