ASPARAGUS. 
German, Spargel. 
THE UNITED 
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. Cultivated be- 
tween the rows frequently, to keep-.the soil loose and weeds 
down. Remove all weeds in the rows by hand-picking. The 
second year the plants will be ready for planting in permanent 
beds. Prepare the ground by trenching to a depth of at least 
two feet and working in a liberal quantity of barn-yard 
manure. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart in rows, or 
when large quantities are grown for market, the plants should 
be set three to four feet apart, which permits horse eultiva- 
tion. 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 one ounce to 60 feet of drill.

plant as the sprouts are forming. g
