MISCELLANEOUS PLANTS & ROOTS 
ASPARAGUS PLANTS. 
An abundance of fine Asparagus may be grown with less than half the expense usually 
incurred in making costly “ beds,” and will succeed admirably on most soils when planted in 
lines or dumps on the Kitchen Garden borders, or amongst dwarf-growing Fruits where the 
space will admit, a liberal cultivation being all that is required to ensure the best results. The 
roots are liable to injury if removed during severe weather in Winter. They are best planted 
when growth has commenced in Spring, and when they can bo carefully taken up and packed 
so as to travel a long journey without injury. They should, however, in all oases be planted 
as quickly as possible after receiving them. We consider March and April the best months for 
planting in the open ground.

RHUBARB. 
One of the most useful, wholesome, and profitable of garden plants. The ground for this 
should be well broken up and manured, and the plants should be 2 j to 3 feet apart. March Is 
the best month for planting, but it is not advisable to pull any of the stalks the first season 
for fear of unduly weakening the growth. A top-dressing of well-decayed manure in Winter is 
very beneficial.

SEA RALE. 
This valuable esculent is easily forced if care is taken only to apply heat gradually, as it will 
not succeed if placed in too high a temperature at starting. Place several crowns a few inches 
apart in large pots, and stand them in a temperature of about 46 degrees, with an inverted pot 
placed over each to exclude light and insure blanching ; a mushroom house, pit or cellar, will 
do well for this purpose. 8ea Kale mav also be easily forced in tho open ground by covering it 
over with large specially made pots, and applying fermenting material. The heads should be 
cut when in about the condition shown in illustration, and taken off in the same way.
