ASPARAGUS 



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

 think it is difficult to grow, but we consider this a mistake, and believe it can be produced as 

 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 tlie ground can 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.

 careful breeding by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, with the object of eliminating rust. A 

 dark green color The best of all Asparagus. Packet 10c; Ounce 20c; H Pound 50c; Found $1.25.

 pounds kainit to 1.000 square feet of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, make a trench eight inches
