FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS 



( Crambe Marilima ) 



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 forced 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 eaten raw, but boiled and served with drawn butter. We 

 are importing some specially fine stock this winter.

ASPARAGUS 



{Asparagus officinalis) 



.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 soil, spread in row good well- 

 rotted maimre 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 crops, gradually working in soil as 

 season ;idvanccs, naturally it will work itself in ; the following spring plow off with a one-horse 

 plf)W 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 com- 

 pleted, and you can cut every day until July 4 — a bed made this way will last for twenty 

 years. I'"or a g.ardcn, follow the same plan ; but as the gardetis are generally very rich, you 

 can |)latit nnich closer, and work by hand, instead with hor»e and plow.
