ASPARAGUS — (If man, i'pargpl 



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 the 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. 

 Tliin to nine inches in the row.
