Artichokes 
Arlichaut. Artichoke Elcachofa. 
One ounce will produce five hundred plants. Sow in drills one foot apart and one inch deep, in moist, rich 
soil, and transplant to permanent beds, allowing a space of three feet between the rows and four feet between 
each plant. Liberal treatment will insure fine heads; and when once established the plants bear for many years.

Jernsaleiii or Tnberons-Rooted Artichoke. These are entirely distinct from the preceding and are grown 
exclusively for tlieir large potato-like roots. They are a profitable crop to grow for feeding hogs, the yield 
often exceeding two tons per acre. If desired they need not be dug, but the hogs can be turned into the 
field to root them up. In this way it is esti mated that one acre will keep twenty head in good condition 
until Spring. Per lb., 15 cts.; 100 lbs., $10.00. 
Asparagus 
Asperge. Spargd. Asparrago. 
One ounce will produce six hundred plants, and sow forty feet of drill. The increased culture of this de- 
licious and wholesome vegetable cannot be too strongly recommended, 
being one of the earliest and best ofierings from the garden to the table. 
It really requires very little trouble in cultivation, as a bed once prop- 
erly made and planted will last for years. The soil for the permanent 
beds should be thoroughly manured and trenched to a depth of at 
least two feet. Plant in rows three feet apart, and one foot between 
the plants in the rows ; spread tlie roots well out, and let the crown of 
the plant be covered about six or eight inches. Fair crops may be 
expected the third ye.ir from seed and in one or two years from roots 
planted, according to age.
