ASPARAGUS 



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 market- 

 ing 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 — 9 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.
