established plants. If the seed be sown, the plants 
may be raised in beds and transplanted. The 
seedlings or sets should be planted out in rows at 
four feet apart and eighteen inches in the row.

be expected north of the Cotton Belt.

ASPARAGUS (SEED and roots) 
Sow seed in temporary location and let stand for two years; Eight Ounces will plant 100 Yards of 
Row; or Fifteen Pounds per Acre. Set 4000 two-year-old Roots to the Acre. Seed breaks ground 
in about 16 days. One inch high in 19 days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse 
If roots are purchased, be sure and get large two- 
year-old. Do not waste time and money on small 
roots. Set them in trenches dug about 12 to 16 
inches deep; then fill up with about 2 inches manure 
with tw'o inches of earth on top of the manure, so 
that it will not burn the plants in any way. Then 
set the plants 18 inches part in the row, rows 4 to 
5 feet apart, and cover them with about 3 inches of 
earth, and gradually wmrk in earth during the 
Summer so that by Fall the trench will be level 
w ith the ground. When well planted, fertilized, and 
limed, a cutting of shoots can be made about three 
times the second year after planting; cutting oftener 
than this is injurious. 
If seed is planted, it will take at least three years 
to obtain the first cutting, and then only a small 
one the third year. While, if tw'o-year-old roots are 
planted, the same result will be obtained in one full 
year. Asparagus beds if well cared for are good 
from twelve to fifteen yeans from first cutting,
