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 
cut until 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 ao ‘

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 Pencil Pod Black Wax 
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 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.
