'| Now that canning companies have found 
‘ how to can asparagus and retain all its delic- 
ious flavor and healthful food qualities they 
' are contracting for greater supplies every 
year. At the same time there is a rapidly in- 
creasing demand from grocery stores and 
commission merchants for fresh asparagus 
during the summer season. 
| $4,000.00 From 4 Acres 
| That is what one local grower made from 
| his field of asparagus, and shows what can be 
done with the present day asparagus market. 
5,000 roots plant an acre. In this section the 
cutting season is about two months, beginning 
in May before any other cash crop. One year 
plants are preferred by commercial growers. 
There is a steady demand with average 
prices of 5 to 8 cents per pound. You can 
make money growing asparagus now!
