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 the ground can be 

 worlted, 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 talien to keep the bed 

 free of weeds. One ounce of seed will sow forty feet of row.
