Paradise Asparagus—New Early 
Horseradish 
Horseradish is easily grown, and 
practically without care, and when 
the initial cost of 12 roots is so 
little (less than $2.00) you should 
have a Horseradish planting. Locate 
the bed in some out-of-the-way place 
and it will take care of itself with 
a little mulching. Set roots upright 
in prepared soil with the tops 2 in. 
below surface. The roots multiply 
rapidly for family uses. 
Prices: Large crowns (see cut at 
right) 3 for 60c; 6 for $1.00; 12 for 
$1.75; 25 for $3.00; 50 for $5.00.

Plant for—Food, Shade, Beauty. 
Chinese Chestnut is fast grow- 
ing, making an unusual, attractive 
shade tree for lawn in few short 
years. Will be something different

tasty nuts, 4 to 6 to a “bur”. Will 
relish them roasted or boiled. 
Your Chinese Chestnut trees are 
once transplanted and 4 years old. 
They bear nuts sooner. Price: 4-yr., 
3 to 4 ft., each $2.25; 2 for $4.00.

RHUBARB 
So Easily Grown at So Little Cost 
Rhubarb (pie plant), like Asparagus, is so easily grown 
that no family should be without this useful delicious food. 
It will thrive in any well-drained garden soil and can be 
planted and cared for much the same as Asparagus (see 
above) by mulching, thus eliminating much care and time. 
Why be without the Pies, Jams, Jellies, Sauce, etc. that 
Rhubarb can supply for your table when its growing costs 
so little and takes so little time? Get that planting started 
this spring. Six to 12 plants will be all you will need for 
family use. Send in your order for a spring planting.

given for Asparagus, except set root upright and deep in the prepared soil so 
the crown is 3 inches from ground surface. Cover crowns with an inch of loose 
soil and fill in to ground line after stalks reach 8 to 10 inches high. Fertilize 
heavily in fall with stable manure or good garden commercial fertilizer working it 
well into soil after cold weather.
