Mary Washington Asparagus © 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
It is generally thought that it requires too much 
space to grow Asparagus, but a plot 6 feet wide and 
50 feet long will be sufficient to plant 100 roots, 
enough for an ordinary family. 
Dig a trench 114 feet deep and 1 foot wide, and 
dig into the bottom about 4 inches of well-rotted 
manure, tread down firmly. If manure cannot be 
obtained, work under 100 pounds of Humus and 10 
pounds of General Garden Fertilizer to each 50 feet 
of row. On this put about 5 inches of good, rich soil, 
and then lay the roots in, about 18 inches apart, 
taking care to spread well, having the crown in an 
upright position. Cover to within 4 inches of the 
top of the trench and, as the plants grow, gradually 
fill the trench to the surface. Between the rows 
allow 18 inches.

stalks are very large—often only seven or eight
