ARTICHOKE 



3 bushels to the acre, cut to one eye. Plant similar to potatoes in rows 3 

 feet apart and two feet in the row, cover two inches deep, plant from March to 

 April. 



Jerusalem. — This variety is produced from tubers only, and are principally 

 grown for stock feeding, but are considered in some localities superior to po- 

 tatoes when roasted and boiled and served with butter, salt and pepper. 

 They should not be dug in the fall, but remain in the ground and be gathered 

 as may be desired. They are most excellent feed for hogs, and cows will pro- 

 duce an increased quantity and quality of milk. Peck, 60c. ; bush. $2.25. 



ASPARAGUS - - Spargel 



1 oz. for 50 feet drill; 500 plants. 1 lb. produces plants to set one acre. 



To grow plants from seed, sow in April or May, in drills about one inch 

 deep, in rows a foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. During 

 the summer "thin out," and the following spring the plants may be set out in 

 beds 6x6 feet wide, with a path two feet wide on each side; set the plants about 

 a foot apart each way, with the plants four inches below the surface. It will 

 succeed well in any rich, light, warm soil, which has been heavily manured 

 for previous crops.

 retaining that delicate, light green color and tender quality desired. Pkt. 5c;

Asparagus Roots 



100 roots plants a bed 15x50 feet. An acre, 4.000 to 6,000. 

 A saving of two years is effected by planting roots which we can 

 supply at very reasonable prices, especially in large quantities. 



Culture. — To prepare a bed, dig out or plough a trench 18 inches wide, use a harrow-tooth cultivator and 

 prepare the soil ten to twelve inches deep, making the trenches two to three feet apart. In the bottom of the 

 furrow scatter bone fertilizer, which mix with the soil, and set the plants eighteen inches apart in the trench. 

 Be careful in setting the plants so that all the crowns will point in one direction, to avoid having the roots of one 

 plant to come in contact with the other. Top dress the plants with two inches of manure and one inch of soil. 

 On the approach of winter level the trench with additional manure and soil. Early in the spring apply a dress- 

 ing of kainit at the rate of 1,000 lbs. to the acre. This may be renewed every other year. Care should be taken 

 not to cut too late in the spring, as it is liable to exhaust the plants. During the winter or early spring cut or 

 burn off the growth, run the plow over the bed to throw the earth down, and apply manure or potato fertilizer, or 

 both, mixing same in with the soil. To make white asparagus, the beds must be freely and lightlv earthed up 

 each spring just before the growing season commences. One-year-old roots 50c. per hundred, by mail 75c. Two- 

 year-old roots 60c. per hundred, by mail 85c. Special prices in quantities.
