ina It., Asparagt 
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 avail- 
able, use other matter rich in organic material. 
Ger.—German 
It.—lItalian 
With a spading fork work this manure into the 
subsoil, then fill back the excavated soil to 
within six inches 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 inches 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 excess 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 ferti- 
lizer, cultivated and kept free from weeds, it 
will give an abundance of asparagus for many 
years.
