Harris’ Fresh Dug Asparagus Roots 
No asparagus you can buy can possibly compare with the fresh succulent shoots right out of 
your garden. Anyone with a little space can have an asparagus bed. It’s not difficult to start and 
requires but little care. The thing to do is to start with good fresh dug roots. 
There is nothing so important about raising asparagus as the quality of the roots. Many roots 
sold are small and stunted. People who do not know what really good roots look like, accept these 
worthless things, and of course do not get good results. Then they think they cannot raise good 
asparagus. As a matter of fact if they got really well grown roots they would have no trouble in 
establishing a good bed which would yield an abundance of fresh asparagus every season for years. 
We sell only fresh dug asparagus roots which are selected especially for their size and vigor and 
are superior in every way. They are carefully sorted and any small or stunted roots thrown out. 
One year roots: Doz. 50c; 50 roots $1.50; 100 roots $2.40 transportation paid. Not paid: 500 roots 
$5.00; 1000 roots $9.00 (weight 500-35 lbs.; 1000-70 Ibs.). 
Two year roots: Doz. 85c; 50 roots $2.00; 100 roots $3.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 500 roots 
$7.50; 1000 roots $14.00 (weight 500-50 lbs.; 1000-100 Ibs.). 
To start a bed it is only necessary to set out the roots on good soil and give them ordinary care 
to keep weeds down, etc. The land should be plowed or spaded deep and worked down well 
and should be enriched by applying a heavy dressing of manure, which should be plowed or 
spaded in. The roots are set out 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows about 4 feet apart. 100 roots 
make a good bed, but more should be set out for a large family. Cutting may commence the 
third year after setting out the roots. A small cutting may be made the second year if not 
continued more than two weeks.
