DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING ASPARAGUS. 



Prepare' the ground by trenching to the depth of two feet mixing each layer of soil, as turned over, with two 

 or three inches of well-rotted manure. For private use or for marketing on a small scale, beds should be formed 5 feet 

 wide, with three rows planted in each ; one in the middle, and one on each side, a foot from the edge ; the distance of 

 the plants in the rows, 9 inches ; the alleys between the beds should be two feet wide. In planting, a line is set and a 

 cut made, a little slanting, to the depth of 6 or 8 inches, according to the size of the plants. The plants are then laid 

 against the side of the trench, at the distance already named— y inches— care being taken to properly spread the roots. 

 The crown or top of the plant should be covered about 2 inches. In a week or so after planting the beds should be 

 touched over lightly with a sharp steel rake, which will destroy the germinating weeds— Gardening for Profit.
