PARADISE (New ’41) 
Here is an asparagus that actually 
comes into bearing ONE YEAR 
EARLIER than any other variety. 
An exceptionally strong, vigorous 
producer. Some say it produces 
twice the crop of ordinary aspara- 
gus. The stalks are like Martha 
Washington in appearance, large 
and green. Just imagine, only 6 to 
8 stalks needed to make a pound. 
Its flavor is unusually mild and 
liked by all. Paradise is rust- 
resistant. Seed sown in Spring 
will bear asparagus for picking 2 
years later. One year old Para- 
dise roots, set out this Spring, 
will produce next year, asparagus 
as large and stalky as ordinary 
two- and three-year-old roots. 
Roots: 1 yr. old—100, $5.00. 
2 yr. old—100, $6.00. 
Seed: Pkt. 25c; oz. $1.00; %& lb.

ground can be worked, in well cultivated 
soil, preferably sandy loam. Thin to 
about 4 in. apart when 3 in. tall and 
make successive plantings at 2 or 3 
week intervals to obtain continuous crop 
until late Fall. Beets are tenderest when 
picked young. Fertilize with Potash.

Broccolt 
Easier to grow than Cauliflower. 
No other table green has captured the 
appetites of a Nation more than Broccoli, 
and why not? Its delicious fine flavor 
is appetizingly pleasing even to children, 
yet rich in iron; more easily digested 
and is of easier culture. Set plants 18 
in. apart in rows and 24 in. between; 
when the center flowers form, cut with 
about 7 in. of stem; this will be followed 
later by several smaller heads. No fuss 
in tying up, like in cauliflower. 
Fifty Day Sprouting Calabrese 
Just think of it—you can pick “Fifty 
Day Sprouting Broccoli” in 40 to 50 days 
after transplanting, in certain localities; 
50 to 60 in others. Seeds of this super- 
lative variety were imported direct 
from the grower in Italy.
