but nothing afterwards, nor do I plant any thing in the alleys 

 after the same period, for I think the Asparagus is injured 

 thereby. 



The third season I begin to cut, but not generally. The 

 fourth and fifth season, the beds are in full bearing, and 

 may be cut from plentifully, but I never make a practice of 

 cutting very much after the first week in June. I then begin 

 to let it run ; in fact, I never cut the very small grass at all. 

 Asparagus being so valuable a vegetable, some persons con- 

 tinue to cut indiscriminately till the latter end of June, 

 but this practice is . of very great injury to the next year s 

 produce. Five beds, as above-mentioned, which had been 

 planted five or six years, were very weak when I first had the 

 care of them, but by following the practice above detailed, 

 they are not only improved, but almost equal to any I 

 have now got. 



I ought to observe, that I do not desist altogether from 

 cutting, but keep taking what makes its appearance by the 

 side of the standing grass till the latter end of June. 

 I remain, Sir, 



Your humble Servant, 



Daniel Judd.
