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 

 becomes level. The plants 

 should be frequently cul- 

 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.
