Proper Care of Rhubarb ‘'') Rh 
barbs prefer 
a little shade, the North or East side of a garage 
are excellent places for a Rhuharb patch. At plant- 
ing time dig a fair size hole, to ~ccommodate the 
roots without cramping. Fill in around the roots 
with good top-soil. Manure should not be brought 
in contact with the roots. The crowns of the roots 
should be just barely covered with soil. Deep 
planting is not satisfactory. Water well, to settle 
the soil. Always use the heavier stalks, and leave 
at least two or three of the smaller center leaves. 
In late fall apply a mulch of leaves for winter.

How to Grow Asparagus. 
Manure the ground heavily, using well rotted barn manure. Make a trench 8 to 10 
inches deep. Have 4. inches of good rich ground on the bottom, spread the roots out 
evenly and fill in about 3 to 4 inches.of soil. Leave. the rest of the trench lay open for the 
first summer. Let all stalks grow the first year. Fill the trench up in the fall of the first 
year. Let several stalks grow on each plant the second year. In the third year allow one 
stalk per plant to grow up, cut all others as soon as they appear above the ground. Culti- 
vate occasionally. Plant 1 ft. apart in the row, the, rows 3 ft. apart.
