ASPARAGUS
Why is it so tender
and delicious?
That's the natural question to ask about GOLD BAR Canned Asparagus. The an- swer is very simple.
It's because GOLD BAR Asparagus is canned right in the heart of the finest asparagus growing sections, where the tender spears are packed within a few hours after coming from the field.
Assure yourself of this superior quality by asking LANE CRAWFORD'S for GOLD BAR Asparagus.
