ASPARAGUS 
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 market¬ 
ing 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.
