ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Can be planted either in Spring or Fall. 
Culture—To make a permanent Asparagus 
bed, the ground should be trenched deeply 
and well drained. The trench should be filled 
up with a rich compost of well-rotted manure 
and loam. Set roots 12 inches apart in the 
rows, allowing 2 to 3 feet between rows, 
spreading out and separating the roots care- 
fully so that the crown will be covered with 
about 6 inches of soil. In November, when 
the stalks have been cleared away, give the 
bed a good top-dressing. In early Spring a 
liberal application of agricultural salt will be 
beneficial. 
Pedigreed Washington. High quality 
strain developed by the U.S. Dept. of Agri- 
culture. It is rust-resistant and produces 
large, straight, dark green shoots with 
tight, firm tips which do not open until well 
out of the ground. Strong, 2-year-old roots 
$1.75 per 25, $6.50 per 100, $50.00 per 1000.
