ASPARAGUS 
Sow 1 ounce of Seed to 60 feet of drill, 5 lbs. per acre. 
As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, sow 
the seeds—previously soaked in water for about 24 hours—in 
rows about a foot apart. Cultivate between the rows fre- 
quently to keep the soil loose and the weeds down. The sec- 
ond year the plants will be 
ready for planting in per- 
manent beds. Prepare the 
ground by working in a 
liberal quantity of barnyard 
manure. Set the plants from 
15 to 18 inches apart, or 
when large quantities are 
grown for market, set 3 or 
4 feet apart, which permits 
horse cultivation. In plant- 
ing, spread out the roots 
carefully and cover’ with 
about 6 or 8 inches of soil. 
A rather sandy soil is best.
