ASPARAGUS 
ASPARAGUS is one of the most profitable crops grown. It is in great demand in 
all markets always selling for very high prices. The demand is much greater than 
the supply as asparagus has not been extensively planted as many other farm 
products. It will thrive in all localities and on any soil that will produce general farm 
crops. To have it real early it should be planted on light soil. The sprouts are not 
usually cut for market until the second year after planting, except to mow down the 
canes in the fall or spring. Plant from 4 to 5 inches deep covering with only 3 inches 
of soil at first, and cover the remainder as the plants grow. The rows should be 3 feet 
apart with plants set 1 foot apart in the row. Broadcast about 5 bushels of salt and 
300 pounds of Nitrate of Soda to the acre in March and give it a good top-dressing of 
stable manure in November. The profits from asparagus are wonderful. It is ready for 
maket in April and May and the income derived from it is especially appreciated at 
this time of the year. The roots give a splendid crop each year for 20 years. It is 
successfully planted during March, April and May, also during the fall months.
