The great need for increased vegetable production presents a real problem. In the national emergency both the 
defense effort and induction into the armed services have depleted farm help. Each gardener must find the way to 
grow the largest crop with the help available. 
Your job is to grow the very best crops. 
Asparagus Seed 
Sow seed in early Spring in rows 11% to 2 feet apart, 
spacing the seed 1 inch apart in the row, and firmly cover 
with 1 inch of fine soil. Keep free from weeds at all times, 
A packet will produce about 200 roots, cz., 750; 4 to 5 lbs. 
Our job—never ending—is to supply only those 
seeds which will make your job most successful. 
Asparagus Roots 
Set out in April—Fresh dug—Not cold storage roots 
Dig or plow out a trench 15 to 18 inches deep, put in 
plenty of well-rotted manure, covering it with a few inches 
of soil, then set the roots 11% to 2 feet apart and cover 
with 4 inches of soil. In the Fall, cut off and burn the top 
growth, plow or throw down the earth and give a good 
application of stable manure. Early in the Spring fork 
this in and apply ground animal bone. If White Asparagus 
is wanted draw earth around the stalks as they grow. 
Do not continue cutting too long, as this exhausts the 
plants. 100 roots plant about 15x50 feet, 5,000 to 7,000
