ASPARAGUS. 



(S}3arc3e[.) 



This is one of the first and finest spring relishes which come to the table from the garden, and it really 

 requires very little trouble in cultivation, since a bed once properly made and planted will last for years. The 

 soil for the bed can hardly be made too rich, and the fertilizer should be well trenched in to the depth of 2 feet 

 or more. The roots should be planted as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, setting them a foot 

 apart in rows 2. 23^ or 3 feet apart, with the crowns from 4 to G inches below the surface of the bed. A^para- 

 ^;us seed may be sown directly in the permanent bed and the plants thinned as they grow; or it may be sown 

 elsewhere, and the seedlings transplanted the second year. An ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill, and 

 projiuce about 300 plants. Fair crops may be expected the third year from seed.
