very shallow, 

 so as to not 

 cut the 

 crowns, and 

 work same as 

 the previous 

 season. The 

 next season 

 your bed will 

 be ready for 

 cutting for 

 market; sim- 

 ply plow off 

 same as sea- 

 son before, 

 then turn in 

 large double 

 with a two- 

 horse plow 

 and rake off 

 the top, and 

 your bed is 

 compl eted, 

 and you can 

 cut every day 

 until July 4. 

 A bed made 



this way will last (or tweiitv years. For .t garden, follow the same plan; but you 

 can plant much closer, and work by hand, instead of with horse and plow.

FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS 



(Crambe mantima) 



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

 delicacy in Europe. It is one of the most succulent and edible vege- 

 tables 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 especially fine stock this winter. 

 Imported Extra-selected Forcing Crown. $2 per doz., I15 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS (Asparagu, officinale) 



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-r<Ttted manure or fertilizer; 

 drop on manure about ten 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 advances, natu- 

 rally it will work itself in; the following spring, plow off with a one- 

 horse plow
