Tlie preparation of the Asparagus bed should be made with 

 more care than for most vegetables, from the facl thai n is a 

 permanent crop, which ought to yield as well at (he end or 

 twenty-flve as of live years, if the soil has been well prepared. 

 To start with, it .should he on ground thoroughly drained. 

 either naturally or artificially, and if choice can bo had, on a 

 rather light sandy loam. This should be trenched and mixed 

 with sufficient manure to form a coating of at least six inches 

 thick over the bed; tins manure should be worked into the 

 soil bj trenching to the depth of two feet, us the roots of the 

 plants will reach quite that depth in a few years. In selling, 

 the crowns of the plants should be placed at least three inches 

 below the surface, it makes hut little difference whether it 

 is planted In spring or fall; if In spring, it should be done as 

 /early as the ground la drj enough 10 work; and if in fall, just 

 as soon as the plains can he had, which is usually in the e irly 

 part of October. Koran ordinary family, a tied of six rows',
