Beet, Crosby’s Egyptian 
ARTICHOKE 
Sow any time the weather is favorable, preferably in 
March or April. Transplant when 6 inches high in rows 
5 feet apart, and 4 feet between the plants. Save offsets 
from best plants for new supply as artichokes never come 
true from seed, some will prove inferior. When trans- 
planting seedlings reject those with spiniest leaves. 
LARGE GREEN GLOBE—(Pkt. 25c) 
ASPARAGUS 
Sow the seed early in spring in drills 2 feet apart, and 
when well started thin out to 3 inches apart. When one 
or two years old transplant into permanent beds, thor- 
oughly trenched, 2 feet or more in depth. Set the plants 
in rows 4 feet apart, and 1 foot apart in the row. Care 
should be taken that roots are well spread, and set at a 
depth of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 
2 or 3 inches, and fill in gradually as the plants grow. 
Very little, if any, should be cut the first year after 
transplanting, but a fair crop can be cut the second year. 
Every fall after the tops have been cut down apply a 
dressing of coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row.
