ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Can be planted either in Spring or Fall. 
Culture—To make a permanent Asparagus 
bed, the ground should be trenched deeply 
and well drained. The trench should be filled 
up with a rich compost of well-rotted manure 
and loam. Set roots 12 inches apart in the 
tows, allowing 2 to 3 feet between rows, 
spreading out and separating the roots care- 
fully so that the crown will be covered with 
about 6 inches of soil. In November, when 
the stalks have been cleared away, give the 
bed a good top-dressing. In early Spring a 
liberal application of agricultural Salt will be 
beneficial. 
Pedigreed Washington. High quality 
strain developed by the U.S. Dept. of Agri- 
culture. It is rust-resistant and produces 
large, straight, dark green shoots with
