Asparagus is a crop which requires permanence, as it cannot be sown 

 and harvested the same year. A good way to raise asparagus in the garden is 

 to have one long row. If it can be by the fence, so much the better; then its 

 roots can feed on both sides. The soil in which it is planted should be en- 

 riched by a liberal supply of well-rotted manure. Plow the ground if possible 

 or spade it up, making a trench a foot deep. Be sure your plants are of the 

 ight sort. Procure them from a reliable nurseryman.
