 cue, Rhode Island or Creeiiing Bent, Hard Fescue, Sweet-scented 

 Vernal (True Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, 

 Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, Timothy and Red Alsike Clover. On 

 ordinary fertile soil three bushels of this mixture are sufficient to 

 seed an acre, but where the land is poor a larger quantity will be 

 necessary.

FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS 



{Crambe Maritima) 



Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a delicacy in Europe It 

 is one of the most succulent and edible vegetables known, and can be forci-d like rhubarb, 

 or grown in the open ground and protected so that it will bleach. In form and flavor it is not 

 unlike celery, though it is not e.itcn raw, but boiled and served with drawn butter. We are 

 importing some specially fine stock this fall.

ASPARAGUS ( Asparagus officinalis ) 



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 in the yellow st)il, 

 spread 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 iq) enough to cultivate; work same as other field crojis, 

 gradually working in soil as season advances, naturally it will work itself in; the following 

 spring plow off with a one-horse plow 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 ttn'U in large double with a two-horse plow and 

 r.ike off the top and your lied is coinpk ted, and you can cut eviM y day until July .) — a bed 

 made this way will last for twenty years. For a garden, follow the same pl.in ; but as tlu' 

 gardens are generally very rich, you can plant nuich closer, and work by h.ind, instead with 

 horse and plow.
