DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING ASPARAGUS. 
Prepare the ground by trenching to the depth of two feet mixing each layer of soil, as turned over, with two 
or three inches ot well rotted manure. For private use or for marketing on a small scale, beds should he formed 5 feet 
w ide, with three rows planted in each ; one in the middle, and one on each side, a foot from the edge ; the distance of 
the plants in the rows, 9 inches; the alleys between the beds should be two feet wide. In planting,'a line is set and a 
cut made, a little slanting, to the depth of 6 or 8 inches, according to the size of the plants. The plants are then laid 
against the side of the trench, at the distance already named—9 inches—care being taken to properly spread the roots. 
The crown or top of the plant should be covered about 2 inches. In a week or so after planting the beds should be 
touched over lightly with a sharp steel rake, which will destroy the germinating weeds . — Gardening for Profit.
