Asparagus 
CULTURE.WSucceeds well in any good rich soil, but a light 
warm soil which has been heavily manured for the previous 
crop is best. Soak the seeds for 24 hours; plant 2 inches deep 
in drills 2 feet apart. When well up, thin out to 3 inches apart 
and give frequent and thorough cultivation, keeping the plants 
clean from weeds. The roots can be transplanted, either at one 
or two years old, either in the fall or spring. After the cutting 
season is over spray with Bordeaux mixture to control rust; 
put into the spray mixture Paris green or arsenate of lead to 
kill the asparagus beetles. 
An ounce will plant a row 50 feet long; 2 pounds will make 
enough roots to set an acre.
