ASPARAGUS. 



German, Spargel. French, Asperge. 



As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, sow the 

 seeds — previously soaked in water for about twenty-four hours, 

 • — in rows about a foot apart. During the first season the young 

 plants must be carefully attended to. Cultivate between the 

 rows frequently, to keep the soil loose and weeds down. Re- 

 move all weeds in the rows by hand-picking. The second year 

 the plants will be ready for planting in permanent beds. Pre- , 

 pare these beds by trenching to a depth of at least two feet \. 

 and working m a liberal quantity of barn-yard manure The 

 beds should be about two feet apart and three feet wide and 

 three rows only should be planted in each, the plants being 

 placed from 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows, or when large 

 quantities are grown for market, the plants should be set in 

 rows three feet apart, and the plants about one foot apart 

 This plan admits of horse cultivators being used. In planting 

 spread out the roots carefully and cover with about six or eight 

 inches of soil. A rather sandy soil suits this plant best Sow 

 ne ounce to 60 feet of drill.
