of the year and, when large enough to trans¬ 
plant, they should be set in rows 4 feet apart 
and 2 feet apart in the row. Planted in this 
manner the plants will produce a crop of 
delicious artichokes the second year.

ASPARAGUS 
(Esparragos) 
CULTURE. Sow seed thinly in drills one 
foot apart early in the spring or fall, after 
soaking seed in warm water for an hour. 
Use a rich well worked light soil and, when 
well up, thin plants to one inch apart a«^ 
cultivate often until the plants are a year 
old. 
Transplant or set out the roots in perma¬ 
nent bed, using the richest soil you have, 
thoroughly prepared and worked very deep. 
Set roots 4 inches deep and 18 inches apart 
in rows 4 to 6 feet apart. Cultivate fre¬ 
quently until plants meet in the rows. Use 
plenty of stable manure or other fertilizer on 
bed before and after setting out roots, mixing 
well into soil. A sprinkling of salt and a 
dressing of manure after the plants die down 
each year is advisable. 
You can have a fine bed of Asparagus by 
planting Asparagus roots. If roots are planted 
this spring you can cut from the bed next 
spring. With seed, a year longer is necessary.
