Artischoke Alcahofa 
There are two kinds of Artichokes. The Green Globe and the Jerusalem. The heads of the Green 
Globe are cooked like Asparagus and make a very delicious food. The roots of the Jerusalem are used for 
stock feed. This variety will be found listed under field seeds. 
CULTURE, Sow in April in rich soil and transplant the following spring to permanent beds (in rows 
or hills) three feet apart and two feet between the plants. Green Artichoke gives only partial crop the 
first season, but the beds will be bearing for years. Protect in winter by a covering of leaves or , coarse 
manure. 
LARGE GREEN GLOBE. The standard variety. 
Produces large, globular heads, scales, green shading 
to purple Pkt. 10c 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES. Cultivated for 
its roots, which make an excellent crop for stock 
feeding. Tubers in season. 
For full description and prices in quantities, see 
field seed section. 
Spargel Asparago 
CULTURE. The seed can be sown in any garden soil and should be sown in rows about 14 inches 
apart as early in the spring as possible. Cultivate thoroughly and thin plants to three inches in the row. 
The permanent bed should be of deep, rich, loamy soil, well stirred, and as these beds must bear for a good 
many years they should be well manured and fertilized. If the soil is of stiff clay it should be loosened 
up bv using plenty of sand or even coal ashes. Have rows from two to four feet apart and set the plants a 
foot apart and at least six inches below the surface. Cut sparingly the second season but after that the beds 
will yield full crops. One ounce of seed will produce about 250 plants and it takes four or five pounds to 
the acre.
