ASPARAGUS — «mnan. tpargd 



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. Thin to nine inches" in the row.
