ARTICHOKES. — This is a very nice vegetable to eat. Some prefer it cooked like asparagus — that is, take the flower head before 

 it begins to open and cook much the same way. 



Sow in March in hotbed and when danger of frost is over transplant in very rich, well-drained soil in rows four feet apart and two 

 feet apart in the row. Thft plants can be raised in seed beds out of doors, but in that case will not be likely to produce heads the first 

 year. Late in the fall cut off the old tops and thoroughly protect the crowns with leaves or straw to prevent severe freezing. 



The second year thin the starting shoots to three of the best, which will commence to form heads about June 1st. The plants may 

 also be blanched by cutting back the stems close to the ground in june, the rapidlu growing shoots which then start up may be tied and 

 blanched like celery. As artichoke plants do not yield satisfactoruly after three or four years, it is best to start a new plantation every 

 three years. 



LARGE GREEX GLOBE. — A favorite French vegetable of medium height with rather deep green leaves. The buds or flower- 

 heads are green, nearly round or somewhat elongated. Pkt., 5c. Ox., 40c. 



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 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. 



PALMETTO. — A very early maturing variety, producing an abundance of very 

 large, deep green shoots.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS. — A saving of one to two years is effected by planting roots.

 family. 7,261 roots will plant an acre. Select good loamy soil, plow deep, put in good 

 quantity of manure and 100 pounds kainit to 1,000 square feet of bed. Incorporate 

 thoroughly, make a trench eight inches deep, set plants nine inches apart. In field culture 

 rows are placea four feet apart.
