All Seeds Tested With Standard Tester 
ASPARAGUS 
CULTURE—sow the seed in drills, about one inch deep and the rows 
about one foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds during 
the summer and in the fall or succeeding spring the plants should be set 
about one foot apart and the crown four inches below the surface. The beds 
should be narrow so as to permit of cutting to the center. Before winter 
cover the transplanted beds with about four inches of manure. Salt is an 
excellent manure for asparagus. Sow a little on the surface in the spring 
and it' will keep down the weeds. The young tops may be cut for the table 
the second summer, but not very freely until the third.

about 300 plants.
