Artichoke, Large Green Globe 
ASPARAGUS 
This delicious vegetable is easily grown in 
any kind of well-fertilized soil but it prefers 
a light, well-drained loam. Good plants may 
be easily grown from seed. It is well to allow 
the seedlings to stand in the seed-row for a 
couple of years until they have bloomed, so 
that the female plants—those which bear 
red berries—can be discarded, since they are 
less prolific and generally undesirable. When 
setting them in their permanent places pre¬ 
pare the ground deeply and fertilize heavily.
