ing around 2 or 3 years to have 
tender, fresh Asparagus when 
you plant Keith's 2-yr. Paradise 
roots—they send up thrifty shoots 
in one year. Paradise is an excel-

In Ordering Consult the Following 
Information for Customers 
1.—ORDER EARLY. To get plants shipped on requested date order early. You also 
get first choice of varieties and avoid substitutions. 
2.—USE OUR ORDER BLANK. Fill in all information asked for. IMPORTANT. 
3.—PRINT OR WRITE name and address plainly. 
4.—RECHECK YOUR ORDER for mistakes in varieties, money sent, postage, etc. 
-—MAKE YOUR LETTERS SHORT and to the point. Long, rambling letters are con- 
fusing, take up valuable time, and require more writing. 
6.—If it's necessary to write us about your order, or in ordering second time, BE 
SURE TO RETURN the card we sent you in acknowledging your order. 
7.—SHIPPING SEASON from late March until late May, depending on season. Have 
plants shipped early. Read carefully No. 13 below. The earlier plants are set the better. 
8.—PLANTING SEASON. Set plants early as you would make early garden and 
from then on until after Corn planting time. (When Oak leaves are about the size of 
squirrel’s ears), Early set plants always do best. 
9.—REMITTANCE. Post Office Money Order or Express Money Orders are safer for 
you and most convenient for us. Send them when possible. But we gladly accept 
your check, bank drafts, etc. Letters containing currency should be REGISTERED. Ship- 
ments will be made C.O.D. if one-third is sent with order. 
10.—YOUR PROTECTION. We guarantee safe arrival under the following conditions. 
We do not hold ourselves responsible for negligence or damage in transit. We replace 
orders to the extent of damage or loss if customer sends, within three days after ar- 
rival, statement from Express Agent or Postmaster showing extent of same. Parcel 
Post shipments must be insured if loss is to be recovered. Raspberry and other cane 
plants travel at customer's risk ordered shipped after May Ist and Strawberry plants 
after May 15th. 
11.—EXPRESS SHIPMENTS. Owing to the increase in express and Parcel Post rates, 
one is about as cheap as the other. We suggest larger orders be sent by Express. The 
minimum Express rate this year is $1.50. Express shipments always travel better than 
Parcel Post, and the shipment always carries insurance against damage or loss. 
12.—PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS. Small orders can be sent cheaper this year by 
Parcel Post into all States except Washington, Oregon, and California. If you live in 
States in Groups 1, 2, and 3, you will find Parcel Post cheaper than Express. Consult 
your Postmaster. Parcel post table bottom page 10 gives postage to add to your order 
cost. . 
13.—HAVE PLANTS SHIPPED EARLY. Have your plants shipped early while 
weather is still cool. They travel better, not apt to heat. All plants should be shipped 
before they take on any spring growth. You wil! receive and get them planted in the 
most dormant condition possible; we suggest the following. Read carefully the follow- 
ing: 
First—Have your plants shipped early and heel them in so you will have them as 
soon as your soil becomes suitable for planting. 
Second—Get your ground ready just as soon as spring weather permits, and then 
get the plants set out as soon thereafter as possible. Get them set while they are still 
dormant. DON’T WAIT until the weather gets hot. Have them on hand for early planting. 
Third—Especially have your Blueberry, Raspberry, Rose bushes shipped early. Read 
paragraphs 4 and 6 above. They can be heeled in and kept dormant. Have them ship- 
ped early. 
Fourth—Don't allow plants to lie around in original package. Either plant at once 
or break open package and place in cool place.

GROW YOUR OWN—IT’S EASY—QUICK 
One Planting Lasts for Years 
The MacDonald Rhubarb produces large, tender, 
juicy stalks 3 feet iall, and over an inch in diameter.

large size, productive, very tender and succulent, ex- 
cellent quality, valuable for pies and desserts.” When 
cooked it's as red as Cherry juice—just wonderful. 
We offer STRONG DIVISION roots, the kind that will 
send up some usable stalks next summer.

75c each; 3 for $2.25; 6 for $4.15; 12 for $7.75; 25

poses than any other Blackberry. WHY?—Because the 
bushes are hardy, thrifty growers, producing well in either 
sandy or heavy soils—just so it is well drained. Canes do 
not winter-kill. Berries are sugar-sweet, juicy, no hard cores.
