 Articiocca, Ital. 



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.

ASPARAGUS 



Palmetto Asparagus 



Asperge, Fr. 

 Sparagio, Ital. 



One ounce will sow about 50 feet of drill] 4 to 5 pounds 



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. "When 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, arid 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 

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

 transplanting, but a fair crop can be 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.
