ARTICHOKE. 
LARGE GREEN GLOBE. 
A most delicious vegetable, which will become 
more popular when better known. ‘The. large 
Green Globe variety is of better quality and gives 
more edible part than the common sort. The 
edible part is the undeveloped flower head, which 
may be eaten raw or used as a salad. Plants set 
out in April or May 3 ft. x3 ft. will produce heads 
in July and continue to do so until the end of Octo- 
ber. It will only produce a partial crop the first 
season, but being a perennial, will remain in bear- 
ing for years in the same bed. As soon as the head 
is taken off, the stalk should be cut down close to 
the main stock or root. Succeeds best in a very 
rich, light, moist soil. Should have protection in 
winter in our northern climate.

ASPARAGUS.  (Spargel.) 
This is one of our most delicious vegetables, and 
when proper care is taken in making the beds and 
setting the plants, they will continue productive for 
many years. 
CuLTURE. The permanent bed should be 
trenched or ploughed very deeply, and well ma- 
nured 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 covered six inches. - Plants two years old 
may be purchased in spring, or may be produced 
from seed sown in drills one inch deep and a foot 
apart, Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the 
rows, carefully spreading out and separating the 
roots. For the sake of convenience, one drill 
should be made at a time, and the planting and 
covering completed before another is commenced. 
In November the plants should have their annual 
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 
the bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows sixty 
Asparagus. feet of drill.
