ASPARAGUS. 
The seed should be sown early in the spring in good 
strong soil. The plants, if good care is taken, will be 
ready to set in a permanent bed the following spring. 
The ground for the permanent bed should he heavily 
manured and worked in deep. Make trenches 31 feet 
apart with a plow or spade, 8 inches deep, and set the 
plants in the bottom of trenches, 20 inches apart, and 
cover the roots liehtly with earth. When the plants are 
a foot or more high, hoe the earth into the trenches, 
filling them one-third full. Afterwards fill the trenches 
nearly full of rotted manure, or give liberal application 
of phosphate, and cover with earth. When leveled off, 
the top of the roots or crown should be about six inches 
below the surface of the ground. Every spring give a 
heavy coat of manure, and cultivate thoroughly. Cut 
lightly the first two years, after that keep the bed cut 
clean as long as you want asparagus. When well estab- 
lished, it can be cut for six weeks without injury. Let 
the brush or tops remain on the bed during the winter to 
protect the roots. The falling seed can do no harm, as 
the young plants from the seed always die out.
