Asparagus—Mary Washington 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is a hardy perennial plant which will bear 
a satisfactory crop over a 20-year period if the bed is prop- 
erly established and cared for. We recommend the 
purchase of ASPARAGUS ROOTS (offered below) 
rather than seeds for the fussy work of starting, trans- 
planting and selection are thus eliminated and above all, 
a crop may be harvested at least 2 years earlier. 
If seed is used sow it thinly in drills, in the early 
Spring and cover to a depth of only }4 inch. he re- 
sulting plants should be thinned out to stand at least 
6 inches apart and when a year old transplant them to 
carefully prepared and heavily enriched beds. 
1 ounce of seed will sow about 60 feet of drill
