ASPARAGUS. A good Asparagus bed is one of the 

 perennial luxuries of a good garden. AVhen once 

 established the plants require little attention, and 

 a properly made bed will last for years. 



To make a good bed the ground should be 

 thoroughly prepared by trenching to a consider- 

 able depth and made very rich by mixing with 

 thoroughly well-rotted manure. The top of the 

 plants should be covered about 2 or 3 Inches, 

 and the plants in the row after being planted should 

 be a few inches below the surface of the edges, so 

 that the depression may befilled in with the natural 

 growth of the roots toward the surface. 



Well-rooted 2-year plants are usually the best for 

 planting, and in ordinary seasons spring is the 

 preferable time for putting out the plants. 



A covering of 2 or 3 inches of stable manure is 

 usually beneficial during winter. 



The following are the best varieties. Strong, 

 2-year roots, $2 per 100; special prices per 1,000.
