Asparagus 
AL DIRECTIONS. One-half ounce of seed will sow 50 feet 
Rearaisaea 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 ie rere:

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 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,
