ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the 

 fall, so that the roots cannot safely be dug until 

 about November 1st. Bj' this time the soil is so 

 cool that the plants do not root readily, conse- 

 quently many are winter killed. For this reason, 

 we advise spring planting for any point north of 

 Washington, D. C. (Ready in November for the 

 South; in March and April for the North.) Our 

 pamphlet "How to Grow Asparagus" sent post 

 free to any address.
