ESCULENT ROOTS. 

 Asparag'tis. 



ijt<^ A GOOD Aspar.\gus bed is one of the perennial luxuries of a good garden. 

 GANDY. When once established a properly made bed will last for years. 



In planti.n'g, the ground should be thoroughly prepared by trenching and 

 made rich. 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 

 be filled ni with the natural growth of the roots toward the surface. 



Spring is the preferable time for putting out the plants.
