ASPARAGUS 



(©tjarget) 



A bed once properly made and planted will last for years. Plenty of fertilizer should 

 be well trenched in to a depth of 2 feet or more. The roots should be planted as early in 

 the spring as the ground can be prepared, setting them a foot apart in rows, 2, 2K or 3 

 feet apart, with the crowns from 4 to 6 inches below the surface of the bed. Asparagus 

 seed may be sown directly in the permanent bed and the plants thinned as they grow! or 



it may be sown elsewhere, and the 



transplanted the second 

 year. An ounce of seed will sow 50 

 feet of drill, and produce about 300 Asparagus 

 plants. Fair crops may be expected 

 third year from seed.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS. By planting Asparagus roots instead of the seeds, much 

 time can be saved in getting the shoots ready for table or market. They can be planted 

 in the fall or spring. We advise spring planting, and as early as the sround is in good 

 condition. See Vegetable Plants.
