ASPARAGUS 
CULTURE. After soaking- seed in warm water 1 to 2 hours, sow in drills about 18 inches apart dur¬ 
ing Spring or Fall. Thin plants out to 3 inches apart and give frequent thorough cultivation, keeping 
them free from weeds. The roots should be transplanted when 1 or 2 years old into a permanent bed of 
the richest soil you have. Open a trench 15 inches deep and put in 8 or 9 inches of well rotted manure; 
cover with 2 inches of soil; then place the roots 12 inches apart, with the crowns facing one way; cover 
with 4 inches of soil. The rows should be 5 feet apart. The growth should be cut in the Fall after 
which a top dressing of stable manure should be applied, this to be worked into the soil very early the 
next Spring. It is also advisable to sprinkle a little salt over the bed. Only light cuttings should be 
made the second year. After the cutting season is over, spray with a combination of Bordeaux and Ar¬ 
senate of Lead to prevent rust and kill the Asparagus Beetle.
