VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ARTICHOKE 
¥% oz. to 100 ft., 6 to 8 oz. per acre. 
Seed may be planted during March or April in a bed arranged 
so that the young plants can be given protection until danger 
of frost is past. When large enough to transplant, they should 
be set in rows about 4 feet apart and about 2 feet apart in the 
row. In localities where winter temperatures are not severe, 
such plants will produc a crop of buds the second year. Where 
winters are severe, plants must be mulched with a heavy 
dressing of leaves or straw to protect the crowns.

are deep green, globe-shaped or ovoid. The fleshy bud scales, 
moderately broad and full at base, are regarded as a delicacy.

ASPARAGUS 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 Ibs. per acre. 
When starting an asparagus bed from seed, it is advisable 
to soak the seed for 24 hours before planting. This makes 
germination more rapid and certain. Sow in spring in rows. 
about 18 inches apart, allowing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover 
2 inches deep. When plants are well established, thin to about 
an inch apart. Hoe frequently during the summer. The plants 
will be ready to set in a permanent bed the following spring.
