ASPARAGUS. iSpargel.) 



The Asparagus is one of our most delicious vegetables, and when proper care is taken in making t&e 

 beds and setting the plants, they will continue productive of fine crops for many years. 



Culture.— Sow seed in April, in drills one inch deep and one foot apart. The permanent bed sbouldJ 

 be trenched or ploughed very deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Wide- 

 drills should then be made three feet apart, and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being: cov- 

 ered six inches. Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the rows, carefully evening out and sepai'tsting^. 

 the roots. For the sake of convenience, one drill should be made at a time, and the planting and coTcr- 

 ing completed before another is commenced. In November the plants should have their annuai top' 

 dressing of manure after the stalks have been cleared away. The dressing should be forked in as soon 

 as the ground can be worked in spring, and tlie bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows sixty feet of 

 drill.
