CLIBRANS’ MISCELLANEOUS VEGETABLES. 
Artichoke ( Cynaria scolyomus). 
Globe Artichokes, sown in February or March, on an 
early spent hot-bed, can be planted out in May, and 
will probably give some return the same autumn. 
When sown in April or May they will not bear till 
the following year. The land should be carefully 
dug over and well manured. 
For Artichoke Plants and Tubers, see page 30.

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis). 
Sow in March and April, then in the following spring 
transplant into beds prepared by trenching the 
ground 3 feet deep, and mixing about 12 inches 
thick of well-rotted manure and a good proportion 
of broken bones and salt with the soil. In winter 
give protection.
