ROOTS 
We usually speak of an asparagus bed; however, for 
the family garden a row or two along one side is prefer- 
able toa bed. The roots should be set 12 to 15 inches 
apart in a trench 8 to 10 inches deep and wide enough 
so the roots can be spread out evenly around the crown. 
Cover with 2 inches of soil and pack tightly. Gradually 
fill the trench as the plants grow. Rotted manure or 
fertilizer may be used in the bottom of trench. Rows 
should be 4 feet apart. 
SENECA WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS ROOTS: 
A new strain of Washington developed on our farms 
by selecting high producing plants of Mary Washing- 
ton, testing these for yield, size of shoot, and uni- 
formity. From these a male and female were chosen 
as the best in the group and crossed to produce Seneca 
Washington. Seneca Washington is very vigorous 
and apparently is as resistant to disease as its par- 
ents. The shoots are large, green with purple com- 
pact tips.

Comet, 33144% Early Scarlet Globe, 33%% Icicle.
