4 Plant a Garden for “DEFENSE” 

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 
24 inches apart, covering seed 1 inch. Cultivate well, keep free from 
weeds and they should be all right to transplant to permanent beds the 
following spring. An application of a good commercial fertilizer in the 
spring is recommended to avoid weed seeds in barnyard manure and an 
application of phosphate and potash after the cutting period. Do not 
eut unt.l the third year, limit cutting to the middle of June. Every fall 
before the seed is ripe, cut tops and burn them. Remember, the bed 
well planted will last for at least 20 years, treat it well.

Beans 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One pound to 100 feet of drill; about 
three-fourths bushel per acre of Bush Beans. Beans thrive on a rich, 
warm, light soil. It is not safe 
to plant until about the middle 
of May as the seed will rot in 
cold, wet ground, and plants 
will not stand frost. Plant 
dwarf beans in rows 2 feet 
apart and from 4 to 6 inches Pencil Pod Black Wax 
apart in the rows. Lima Beans 
should not be planted until June first, when the soil is thoroughly warmed through. 
Limas will rot in cold ground.
