CUETURE —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¬

15x50 feet; 5,000 to 7,000 will plant an acre.

WOOD’S SEEDS ARE TESTED and we know that they 
will grow before they are 
sent out. Even then they occasionally do not come up, due to 
causes over which we have no control, such as covering too deep¬ 
ly or not deeply enough; too little or too much moisture, cold 
weather, insects, or a crust through which the sprouts cannot 
penetrate, etc.; therefore, T. W. AVood & Sons give no warranty, 
expressed or implied, as to description (variety, name and kind), 
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs
