ASPARAGUS 
Mail 
Orders 
Asparagus is one of the earliest spring vegetables and would be in universal use were it not for the 
mistaken idea that it is difficult to grow. In reality, it can be produced very easily and cheaply. A bed of 
15x50 ieet, requiring about 100 plants should give an abundant supply for the ordinary family. 
CULTURE—Soak the seeds 24 hours in warm water, and sow early in drills one foot apart. An ounce 
of seed will sow about 300’ feet of drill. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. After one year’s 
growth, transplant into permanent beds. A warm sandy soil is the best, and one which has for some years 
been cultivated in garden crops and heavily manured is greatly preferred to fresh soil. But at no period 
of its growth should the asparagus crop be allowed to lack for manure.
