CULTURE OF ASPARAGUS ROOTS. 
No effort put forth in the garden will bring more pleasure 
and satisfaction than an established Asparagus Bed, if it is 
thoroughly prepared according to the following directions: 
A bed 20 feet by 50 feet,set with two-year old roots, will last 
for years, and furnish abundance of asparagus for any 
family. 
DIRECTIONS.—Select a good sandy loam, plough the 
ground as deep as possible, dig out 12 inches deep. putina 
a Jayer of 4 inches of good, strong stable manure, and press 
down; then fill in with good, rich, black loam to the top of 
the bed. Sow on top of the bed 100 pounds Kainit to every 
1,000 square feet of bed; Incorporate this thoroughly to the 
depth of4inches. After leveling your bed off even, stretch 
a line the length of the bed 9 inches from the edge. and with 
a Spade cut a furrow 8 inches deep, set a row of plants along 
the trench 9 inches apart, with the crowns of the roots 2 
inches below the surface; then cover up, make even, and 
plant the other rows 9 inches apart. 
They require no additional manure until thesecond spring 
after setting, when they should have a liberal dressing 
and the ground Kept loose and clean of weeds. Early inthe 
third spring give a top dressing of the Kainit, 100 pounds to 
every 1,000 square feet. As soon as the frost is out of the 
ground cultivateand loosen thesoil. Liberaluse of manure 
and Kainit are very essential to obtain the best results with 
asparagus.
