Early plantings can be followed by Fall vegetables. 
Longer bearing than above. Use poles 6-8 ft. long, plant 6 seeds per pole and later thin 
2 [to three. 
Plant and thin as for Pole Snap Beans above. 
Late plantings for Winter use should use turnip varieties. 
Before freezing, dig and store in cellar or pit. 
Hoe deeply and frequently—keep clean of weeds. 
Give plenty of water and keep soil well cultivated. 
Can replant until September for Fall and Winter use. 
Easily grown in Winter in greenhouse, hotbed or window box. 
Tie outer leaves over center bud when 6 to 8 inches long. 
Fertilize heavily—plant on rich soil and supply abundant moisture. 
Can be grown in window boxes in Spring. 
Till top soil frequently and keep free of weeds. 
Do best in cool weather, so plant as early as possible. 
Apply fertilizer between rows several times during season. 
For Fall use long, white varieties. 
Plant 3 or 4 small tubers in a hill. 
Winter crop may be started in May. 
When small sprouts begin to appear—cut large leaves off to favor sprouts. 
| Fertilize and cultivate freely—hill up slightly as growth progresses. 
Leaves bunched for blanching in early Fall. 
Never allow plants to become checked in growth. 
Blanching not required—roots remain in ground until wanted. 
See ‘‘Vegetable Guide” for information on blanching. 
Then raised and transplanted in trench and covered with manure—after 4 to 5 weeks 
[ready for use.

Winter squash may be planted later and stored for use in moderately warm, dry place. 
Dig when vines have been killed by frost. 
Protect from frost when first set out in garden. 
Crowding or weeds make poorly flavored roots. 
Top-dress with fertilizer high in nitrogen and potash. 



If crowns get too large after two or three years—divide and reset. 3 
In northern states mulch asparagus to prevent heaving of the roots during Winter.
