ASPARAGUS 



Cultural directions. — Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow, going twice in a row, getting row as deep as 

 possible without getting iti the yellow soil, sjiread in row good well-rotted manure or fertilizer, drop on manure about 10 inches apart (eye 

 up) good two-year-old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In about two or three weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate : 

 work same as other field crop, gradually working in soil as season advances, naturally it will work itself in ; the following spring, plow off 

 with a one-horse |)low very shallow so as to not cut the crowns, and work same as previous season ; the next season your bed will be ready 

 for cutting for market, simply plow off same as season before, then turn in large double with a two-horse plow and rake off the top and your 

 bed is comi)Ieted, and you can cut every day till July 4 — a bed made this way will last for twenty years. For a garden, follow same plan ; but 

 as the gardens are generally very rich, you can plant much closer, and work by hand, instead of with horse and plow. Plant in March, 

 April or May.
