ZILKE’'S NEW RED EVERBEARING RHUBARB 
‘ce ZILKE’S EVERBEARING MCDONALD RED RHUBARB is the finest of all 
Rhubarb. The stalks are giant in size, twice as large as ordinary Rhubarb. Bright 
red color. Very tender and stays tender a long time. It has the richest flavor and 
also more sugar, therefore requires less sweetening when cooked. It makes the finest 
Rhubarb pies and sauce you ever tasted, The skin is a bright red, but the 
flesh is white, so when the sauce is cooked it has just enough tinge of red to make 
it look appetizing. It is a tremendous yielder, that is why we call it everbearing, 
because as fast as you pull one stalk another comes up to take its place. You can use it 
over a much longer period of time than ordinary Rhubarb. The stalks are 18 to 24 inches 
long, many half as thick as your wrist. Nothing you can plant in your garden will give 
you more returns than McDonald Rhubarb. We recommend it very highly, not only 
because it is healthful, but because it tastes so good. Lasts a life time. Heavy 2 year 
divisions, 75¢ each; 3 for $1.80. 
CANADA RED RHUBARB — Sweet, tender and red all the way 
through. A brand new rhubarb imported from Canada. The 
stalks are dark red clear to the heart and up into the leaf. 
Produces large plump stalks that are very sweet, fine flavored 
and makes the most beautiful red sauce. Quickly grows into a 
large clump. A few matured plants will supply the average 
family. Hardy everywhere. Thrives anywhere. This is the earliest 
spring fruit. No. 1 divisions, 70¢ each; 3 for $1.65. 
New Paradise Asparagus 
MATURES A YEAR EARLIER—PLANT THIS SPRING 
HARVEST FIRST CROP NEXT YEAR! 
For this year we offer this wonderful new variety from the 
market gardens of California—where only the best is grown. 
Again we predict that within a very short time Paradise will have 
supplanted all other kinds, and will be the standard market and 
commercial variety in all sections. It is similar in appearance 
to Mary Washington, and was developed as a sport of that nee 
variety by an Asparagus grower in Southern California. Stems New Paradise Asparagas 
are large, same color as Mary Washington. 
The opportunities for a quick profit from Paradise are now freater than ever before. 
With America calling for increased production of all food stuffs, canners are demanding 
greater and greater supplies. Paradise fully meets their requirements, being especially 
suitable for both canning and freezing under new process.
