Asparagus 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One-half ounce of seed will sow 50 feet 
of drill and produce about 500 plants. Drill the seed in rows about 
twenty-four inches apart, covering seed one inch. Cultivate well, keep 
free from weeds and they should be all right to transplant to permanent 
beds the following spring. Do not cut the plants till the third year. 
Every fall before the seed is ripe, cut tops and burn them, and give good 
top dressing of manure. Remember, the bed well planted will last for at 
least twenty years. Treat it well.

ground, and the plants will not 
stand frost. Plant dwarf beans 
in rows two feet apart and 
from four to six inches apart 
in the rows. Lima Beans should 
not be planted until June first, Pencil Pod Black Wax
