Asparagus 
ASPARAGUS CULTURE.— Almost any good loamy 
garden land is good for Asparagus. One ounce of seed 
will produce about 200 plants. Sow in rows 12 to 
15 inches apart as early in the spring as the ground 
permits and give it good cultivation. linn the plants 
to 2 or 3 inches apart. For the permanent bed a deep 
warm, rich loamy soil is necessary, deeply and thoroughly 
worked, manured and fertilized. When the seedlings 
are two years old set them 18 to 24 inches apart m 
furrows 8 to 10 inches deep and separated by a dis- 
tance of 2 to 3 feet and cover lightly at hrst, then 
gradually fill in with soil. In the early spring plow the 
bed shallowly or pulverize with a harrow, and in the 
fall cover with manure or compost. I lie second sea- 
son after planting, hill up the rows and cut sparingly 
for use, the young shoots which appear above the giound. 
After that the bed will give good crops. 1 he two years 
given to growing the seedlings may be saved by pro- 
curing the two-year-old roots and planting them, which 
is a very satisfactory arrangement. 
INSECT REMEDIES.— For the asparagus beetle, spray 
with Arsenate of Lead. 3. lbs. to 50 gallons of water. 
Or dust with -Slug Shot, air slaked lime or Dry Arsen- 
ate of Lead, while the dew is on the plant.
