VEGETABLE ROOTS AND PLANTS. 
The coming season, as heretofore, we shall endeavor to supply customers with good plants of some of the best 
varieties of vegetables at reasonable prices. We shall grow them in hot-beds and cold frames, from the best se- 
lected seed-stock of our own growing, and under our own personal care. The varieties embraced in the 
following list comprise the very best sorts ; and I can fully assure my customers they are of the best quality, and will 
give entire satisfaction to purchasers. ^',y“'No discount from these prices. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS. 
The preparation of the Asparagus Bed should be made with more care than for most vegetables, from the fact that 
it is a permanent crop, which ought to yield as well at the end of twenty-five as of five years, if the soil has been well 
P repared. To start with, it should be on ground thoroughly drained, either naturally or artificially, and if choice can 
t had, on a rather light sandy loam. This should be trenched and mixed with sufficient manure to form a coating 
of at least six inches thick over the bed ; this manure should be worked into the soil by trenching to the depth of i 1-2 
feet, as the roots of the plants will reach quite that depth in a few years. In setting, the crowns of the plants should 
be placed at least three inches below the surface. It makes but little difference whether it is planted in the spring or 
fall ; if in spring, it should be done as early as the ground is dry enough to work ; and if in fall, just as soon as the 
plants can be had, which is usually in the early part of October. For an ordinary family, a bed of six rows, fifty or 
sixty feet in length, and three feet apart, will be sufficient, the plants in the rows being set nine inches apart.
