HARRISON GROWN ASPARAGUS 
The preparation of the 
bed should be made in a 
most thorough manner, 
as it is to last for a 
number of years. A deep, 
sandy loam with an 
abundance of decayed 
organic matter is the 
best soil. 
Planting is best done 
in the spring as early as 
the soil can be worked 
in good condition. Run 
furrows with plow and 
clean out with shovel to 
a depth of 1 foot. Place 
well-rotted stable manure 
thickly in the’ trench, 
then just a slight cover- 
ing with the soil, on top 
of which place the crowns 
about 2 feet apart; 
spread out the roots and 
cover them very shallow. 
After the plants start to 
grow, work the soil to 
them gradually until it 
— level. The aon 
shou e frequently cul- 
Palmetto Asparagus tivated and kept clean. 
The dead tops should be mown off in the fall and fur- 
rows should be thrown on the rows from each side, and 
the middles cleaned out. This will cause the bed to warm 
up early in the spring.
