CUETITBE —Prepare a trench 15 to 18 inches deep, put in plenty 
of well-rotted manure, covering it with a few inches or soil; then 
set the roots 1% to 2 feet apart and cover with 4 inches of soil. In 
the fall, cut off and burn the top growth, throw down the earth and 
give a good application of stable manure. Early in the spring fork 
this in and apply ground animal bone. To make white asparagus, 
draw earth around the stalks as they grow. Do not continue cut¬ 
ting too long, as this exhausts the plants. 100 roots plant about 
15x50 feet; 5,000 to 7„000 will plant an acre.

then they occasionally do not come up, due to causes over which
