ARTICHOKE—(True Artichoke) 
Seed should be sown 
during March or 
April, giving seed¬ 
lings protection un¬ 
til danger of frost is 
past. When plants 
are large and strong 
they should be trans¬ 
planted in rows 3 or 
4 feet apart and 2 
feet apart in the row. 
Such plants will pro¬ 
duce a crop of buds 
the second year. 
Where winter 
months are severe, 
plant crowns should 
be heavily mulched

ASPARAGUS 
To insure even germination soak seed in water 24 
hours before planting. Sow at the rate of 15-20 seed 
per row foot and cover 2 inches deep. Irrigate fre¬ 
quently and keep weeds down. In the late fall cut off 
all top growth and leave the roots in the bed until the 
following spring, when they should be dug and trans¬ 
planted to the permanent bed. 
The permanent bed should be worked well to 16-18 
inches deep and have a heavy dressing of stable 
manure applied. Set roots with crowns up, 6-8 inches 
deep and 2 feet apart in rows that are 4 feet apart. 
Cover roots with 3 or 4 inches of soil. As the roots 
make stronger growth more dirt, a little at a time, 
may be hilled up over the root crowns. Do not harvest 
spears the first year but allow full growth. In late 
fall after top growth has dried, cut and burn. Repeat 
this same process the second season and by the third 
season, an abundant supply of delicious spears should 
be harvested. 
White or Green Spears 
Both white and green spears may be cut from the 
same root. When spears are allowed to grow out well 
above the soil surface they turn green, but when cut 
4 or 6 inches below soil surface they will be found 
to be white.
