ARTICHOKE (Globe) 
CULTURE.— Sow in March or April in drills, 18 inches apart, and transplants feet apart each way; or seed can be sown in a gentle heat, 
eked off into small pots when large enough, gradually hardening them until the end of May, and then plant out in the beds already prepared for 
em. The first season they will only produce a partial crop ; but as it is a perennial, after being once planted, the beds continue to bear for several 
iars. So as to secure fine heads they require good treatment; the soil should be rich, deep, and moist, and protected in winter by placing straw 
acken, or other dry material closely round the stems. It is advisable to cut the plants down after the heads are taken.

ASPARAGUS (Seed). 
CULTURE. — There is no vegetable more delicious. Choose the highest and lightest ground in the kitchen garden, and stake out in September 
per diagram, dig out to a foot deep, lay it on each side in the pathway, then wheel in 3 inches of good manure, fork this in about another 
ot, and if dug over deeply two or three times so much the better ; on the top of this place a fair coating of rich soil and soot, and over this 
inches of soil from out of the alley, then place one plant to every 9 inches, spreading the roots well out, covering them over with the finest 
'*> free from stones. For the top covering have 6 inches of light friable or even sandy soil. The first year make one cutting only, if the plants are 
ree years old, the following winter add more fine soil, so that there is something like 9 inches of earth above the crown of the plants. Asparagus 
"* made in this way with a good coating of manure and a fair amount of salt and soot every other year cannot fail to give abundance of this 
cculent vegetable until the peas make their appearance.
