ASPARAGUS, Pedigreed Washington 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Can be planted either in Spring or Fall. 
Culture —To make a permanent Asparagus 
bed, the ground should be trenched deeply 
and well drained. The trench should be filled 
up with a rich compost of well-rotted manure 
and loam. Set roots 12 inches apart in the 
rows, allowing 2 to 3 feet between rows, 
spreading out and separating the roots care¬ 
fully so that the crown will be covered with 
about 6 inches of soil. In November, when 
the stalks have been cleared away, give the 
bed a good top-dressing. In early Spring a 
liberal application of agricultural salt will be 
beneficial.
