ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Fr., Asperge; Ger., Spargel; Sp., Esparrago;

Asparagus roots should be planted in trenches, 
which should be prepared at least 2 ft. deep and 
1 ft. wide, or three rows may be planted in a 
bed 5 ft. wide. The excavated soil should be 
placed on each side of the trench; then put in a 
layer of barnyard manure four inches deep in the 
bottom of the trench; if manure is not available, 
use other matter rich in organic material. With

a spading fork work this manure into the subsoil, 
then fill back the excavated soil to within six in- 
‘ches of the garden grade and your trench is now 
ready to receive the crowns which should be 
placed a foot apart and covered with about 2 in- 
ches of soil after the roots have been carefully 
spread out. Do not cut any asparagus the first 
year as the plant has to build up a good root 
system and strong crowns before it can really 
produce. In the late fall, following planting, 
clear off all tops. The following spring the ex- 
cess soil on the side of the trench can be filled in 
and the bed is complete. If the bed is given an 
annual dressing of a complete fertilizer, cultivated 
and kept free from weeds, it will give an abund- 
ance of asparagus for many years.
