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 of well-rotted manure. For private use or for marketing on a small scale, beds should be 
formed 5 feet wide, 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.
