Asparagus is one of the most valuable of the early 

 vegetables. It is healthful and palatable both as a 

 fresh vegetable and canned product. Crowns should 

 be set as early in the spring as the ground can be 

 worked. Good one year old roots will give best results 

 but the two year roots will i^roduce stalks large 

 enough for cutting the second year and quite a fair 

 crop the third. 



The soil should be thoroughly prepared for aspar- 

 agus as for any other crop. Light loamy soil will 

 give best results. Plow out furrows from to 7 in- 

 ches deep, setting the roots from 12 to 15 inches apart 

 in the row, the roots well spread out. For garden 

 purposes row\s 3 feet apart are advisable but in com- 

 mercial planting rows 4 to 5 feet apart will be more 

 satisfactory. It should be covered about 3 inches 

 when first planted and as the shoots beg^in to grow the 

 ground should be worked to the>m until it is level. Cul- 

 tivation should begin soon after the crowns are plant- 

 ed and continued throughout the season at intervals 

 frequent enough to keep down weeds. Filling in the 

 furrows during the season will keep down most of the 

 weeds in the row. 



Asparagus draws most heavily on plant food when 

 it is making top growth and restoring reserve food in 

 the fleshy roots, thus it is best to fertilize or broad- 

 cast good stable manure just after the cutting season. 

 Be sure to use a complete fertilizer high in nitrogen, 

 applied at the rate of 1,000 to 1,800 lbs. per acre.

 profital)le of the Washington strains. This variety is con- 

 sidered the best rust resistant variety on the marlcet. of 

 hijih commercial quality. Superior to any otlier variety on 

 earliness. vigor of growth and size and quality of shoots.

 any of the old varieties and are very productive of large 

 spears. Price list page 27.
