SELECTED LIST OF

With General Directions for Cultivation 



ARTICHOKE mim^) 



One ounce will produce 500 plants. 

 Culture. — Sow seed in hotbed in February or March, 

 in rows 6 inches apart. Transplant when large enough 

 into boxes or pots. After danger of frosts is past plant 

 in the open ground, in rows 3 feet apart, 2 to 3 feet 

 apart in row, care being taken to press firmly in the 

 ground, but not planted too deep.

Palmetto Asparagus 



ASPARAGUS 



One ounce will sow about 50 feet of drill; 4 <o 5 pound* 

 per. acre 



Culture. — Sow the seed as early in Spring as the soil 

 can be worked, in drills 12 inches apart, and when well 

 started thin out to 3 inches apart. "V\"hen one or two 

 years old, transplant into permanent beds, which should 

 be well and deeply manured and trenched to a depth of 

 18 inches. Set the plants in rows 2 feet apart, and not 

 less than 18 inches apart in the row. Care should be 

 taken that the roots are well spread, and set at a depth 

 of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 2 or 

 3 inches, and fill in gradually as the plants grow. Very 

 little, if any, should be cut the first year after 

 transplanting, but a fair crop can he cut the second 

 year. Every Fall after the tops have been cut 

 down apply a dressing of coarse manure, and in the 

 Spring fork it in. An occasional top dressing of 

 kainit at the rate of one half pound per square yard 

 is also beneficial.
