ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, 

 but oest results are obtained in well-enriched, 

 deeply dug, Bandy loam. A well cared for bed im- 

 proves with age, and lasts for many years. It may 

 be grown from seed, but much time is saved by 

 planting roots. 



The Asparagus plant is Blow to die down in the 

 fall, so that the roots cannot safely be dug until 

 about November 1st. By 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 tor the North.)
