Cultural Directions For Either Fall or Spring Planting 
Asparagus —Prepare ground by deep plowing or spading. Set plants 
twelve to eighteen inches each way, three inches deep, with roots well 
spread out. Every fall mulch the bed with well rotted manure, ashes 
and salt. During the growing season dust the foliage several times with a 
mixture of 85% Sulphur and 15% Arsenate of lead to kill the slugs and 
to prevent rust. 
Rhubarb—Prepare ground as for asparagus. Set the plants with crown 
or eye two inches under ground. Plant two to three feet apart each way. 
Mulch in winter. Give clean cultivation the same as for any other crop. 
Horseradish—Thrives best in deep moist fertile soils. Set the roots 12 to 
15 inches apart either horizontally or upright and in furrows 3 to 3% ft. 
apart. Clean cultivation and the roots are ready to dig in the Fall.
