 Peck, $1.00; bushel ...$3.00 



ASPARAGUS. 



German, Spargel. French, Asparge. 



As early In the spring as tte ground can be worked, sow the seeds, previ- 

 ously soaked in water for about twenty-four hours, in rows about a foot apart. 

 Daring the first season the young plants must be carefully attended to. Culti- 

 vate between the rows frequently to keep the soil loose and weeds down. Ke- 

 move all weeds In the rows by hand-picking. The second year the plants will be 

 ready for planting in permanent beds. Prepare these beds by trenching to a 

 depth of at least two feet, and working in a liberal quantity of barn yard manure. 

 These beds should be about 2 feet apait and three feet wide, and 3 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 3 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 6 or 8 inches of soil. A rather sandy soil suits this plant best.
