A deep, rich soil is indispensable to secure large, heavy stalks. Plant in 
rows four feet apart, with the plants two feet distant. Set so that the 
crowns are about three inches below the surface. Top dress annually in the 
fall with stable manure and fork under in the spring. 
The New Washington Asparagus 
The New Martha and Mary Washington strains are the very finest you can 
plant and they are practically rust proof. It makes a heavy growth, is 
ready to be cut early and continues over a long season. Even though you 
already grow Asparagus, add one or both of the varieties to your planting 
and you will be more than pleased with the superiority of this New Wash¬ 
ington Asparagus.
