ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



The Asparagus plant is slow 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, 

 consequently many are winter killed. For this 

 reason, we advise spring planting for any point 

 north of Washington, D. C. (Ready in Novem- 

 ber for the South; in March and April for the 

 North.) Our pamphlet " How to Grow Aspara- 

 gus" sent post free to any address.
