VEGETABLE PLANTS AND ROOTS. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS. 
The preparation of the Asparagus bed should be made with more care than for most vegeta¬ 
bles, from the fact that it is a permanent crop, which ought to yield as well at the end of twenty- 
five as of five years, if the soil has been well prepared. To start with, it should be on ground 
thoroughly drained, either naturally or artificially, and if choice can be had, on a rather light sandy 
loam. This should be trenched and mixed with sufficient manure to form a coating of at least six 
inches thick over the bed; this manure should be worked into the soil by trenching to the depth 
of two feet, as the roots of the plants will reach quite that depth in a few years. In setting, the 
crowns of the plants should be placed at least three inches below the surface. It makes but little 
difference whether it is planted in the spring or fall; if in the spring, it should be done as early as 
the ground is dry enough to work; and if in the fall, just as soon as the plants can be had, which 
is usually in the early part of October. For an ordinary family, a bed of six rows, fifty or sixty 
feet in length, and three feet apart will be sufficient, the plants in the rows being nine inches apart.
