Jerusalem or Tuberose- 
Rooted 
Produces potato-like tubers. The tubers are 
planted and cultivated the same as pota- 
toes. One of the best hog feeds. Remark- 
able for their fattening properties and pro- 
ductiveness (over 1,000 bushes have been 
raised on one acre). Self rooting. Plant 10 
bushes per acre. (Postpaid 4th zone) lb.

ASPARAGUS 
To insure even germination soak seed in 
water 24 hours before planting. Sow at the 
rate of 15-20 seed per row foot and cover 
2 inches deep. Rows should be 18 inches 
apart. Irrigate frequently and keep weeds 
dewn. In the late fall cut off all top growth 
and leave the roots in the bed until the fol- 
lowing spring, when they should be dug 
and transplanted to the permanent bed. 
The permanent bed should be worked well 
to 16-18 inches deep and have a heavy 
dressing of stable manure applied. Set 
roots with crowns up, 6-8 inches deep and 
2 feet apart in rows that are 4 feet apart. 
Cover roots with 3 or 4 inches of soil. As 
the roots make stronger growth more dirt, 
a little at a time, may be hilled up over the 
root crowns. Do not harvest spears the 
first year but allow full growth. In late fall 

Brussel Sprouts 
Recommendations based on our growing 
after top growth has dried, cut and burn. 
Repeat this same process the second sea- 
son and by the third season, an abundant 
supply of delicious spears should be har- 
vested.

face they turn green, but when cut 4 or 6 
inches below soil surface the spears will
