ASPARAGUS 
(Italian—Sparagio) 
While Asparagus will grow in almost any type of 
soil, it is most at home in a light and rather sandy 
loam. It is very necessary to prepare the bed thor- 
oughly by liberal manuring and deep plowing or 
igging. Trenches should be opened up to a depth of 
from 6 to 8 inches. From 3 to 4 feet should be allowed 
between rows. The plants should be laid in the 
trenches with the roots well spread out, about 15 or 
18 inches apart, and covered lightly with soil. As 
growth advances, gradually fill the trenches until the 
surface is level. Loe should be sown in drills and 
covered to a depth of | inch. The plants should be 
thinned out so that they stand at least 3 inches apart. 
One ounce of seed will sow 60 feet of drill. 
5015 Washington. This variety was developed 
by U. S. Department of Agriculture and since 
its introduction it has been the most popular 
variety in cultivation, primarily because of its 
immunity to rust. The stalks are dark green 
with purplish tips. Very large, straight, and of 
superb quality. Pkt. 15c., oz. 50c., 14 1b.$1.50.

BEANS 
(Utalian—Fagioli) 
Successive plantings of bush string Beans may be made at intervals of 10 to 14 days from April 19 until 
August I in the vicinity of Boston. Pole String Beans may be sown about May 15. Bush and Pole Limas, how- 
ever, should not be planted until early June and then only if the weather has become settled and warm. 
Bush Beans should be sown in drills and covered to a depth of 2 inches. The rows should be at least 24 inches 
apart. 
In planting Pole Beans it is best to set the poles in position before sowing the seed. Set them at least 3 feet 
apart and plant 6 to 8 seeds, well spread out, around each. 
__ Two pounds of Bush Beans will sow 100 feet of row; one pound of Pole String Beans will plant 100 hills. 
With Lima Beans double quantities will be required.
