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. 
Pedigreed Washington. This new strain 
was developed by the U. S. Dept, of Agri¬ 
culture. It is rust-resistant and produces 
large, straight, dark green shoots, with 
tight, firm tips, which do not open until 
well out of the ground. Strong, 2-yr.-old 
roots, $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000. 
Extra large, selected, 3-yr.-old roots,
