ASPARAGUS 



This is one of the earliest spring vegetables, and should be in universal use. Many persona

 cheaply and easily as any on the list. Sow the seed in the seed bed late in the fall or the early 

 spring, as soon as the ground cnn be worked, in drills one foot apart, covering the seed about one 

 inch deep. When the plants are four or five inches high, great care should be taken to keep the 

 bed free of weeds. One ounce of seed will sow forty feet of row.
