Have Them in Your Garden Fresh.

count of drouth many of my customers 
have lost some of their Rhubarb plants, 
I am quoting the new plants so low that 
you can afford to replant this spring.

How to Grow Asparagus 
Manure the ground heavily using well 
rotted barn manure. Make a trench 8 to 
10 inches deep. Have 4 inches of good 
rich ground on the bottom, spread the 
roots out evenly and fill in about 3 to 4 
inches of soil. Leave the rest of the 
trench lay open for the first summer. Let 
all stalks grow the first year. Fill the 
trench up in the fall of the first year. 
Let several stalks grow on each plant 
the second year. In the third year allow 
1 stalk per plant to grow up, cut all 
others as soon as they appear above the 
ground. Cultivate occasionally. Plant 1 
ft. apart in the row, the rows 3 ft. apart. 
■' = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS ----- - == 
Plant nut trees following the planting instructions as given under fruit trees. Rhubarb should have a partly shaded place, rich 
soil. Plant them 3 ft. apart and so deep that the crown of the root is about / 2 to 1-inch below the surface of the soil. Frequent 
watering will greatly improve production during dry weather. For the winter it is a good plan to cover Rhubarb, Mint and Sage 
plants, especially in the North. The cover may consist of leaves or straw, applied when the ground begins to freeze.
