A deep, rich, mellow soil is best adapted to the growth 
of Asparagus. The bed should be made rich by applying 
a heavy dressing of manure which should be plowed or 
spaded in; the roots should be set in rows 3 to 4 feet apart 
and 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows; the crown of the 
root should be 4 to 6 inches below the surface of the 
ground. Keep the plants free from weeds during the sum¬

mend one-year-old Asparagus roots, as they are usually 
vigorous, healthy, and will make a better Asparagus bed.
