Asparagus 
Asparagus can be grown from seed or propagated 
from roots. Sow the seed in April or May on good soil, 
in drills 12 to 14 inches apart. When one or two years 
old, transplant as early in the Spring as the ground can 
be worked into permanent beds, made very rich and 
thoroughly trenched 2 feet or more in depth. Set the 
plants in rows 2 feet apart and 12 inches between the 
plants in the row. Care should be taken that the roots 
are well spread and set at a depth of 6 inches below the 
level of the bed. Cover only 2 or 3 inches and fill in 
gradually as the plants grow. Very little, if any, 
should be cut the first year after transplanting, but a 
fair crop can be cut the second year. Every Fall after 
the tops have been cut down, apply a dressing of coarse 
manure, and in the Spring fork it in. An occasional 
top dressing of salt is also beneficial, and keeps down 
the weeds.
