WOOD'S SEEDS ARE TESTED 
And we know that they will grow before they 
are sent out. Even then they occasionally do 
not come up, due to causes over which we 
have no control, such as covering too deeply 
or not deeply enough; too little or too much 
moisture, cold weather, insects, or a crust :

Asparagus Roots Set Out in February and March. 
CULTURE—Prepare c trench 15 to 18 inches deep, put in plenty of 
well-rotted manure, covering it with a few inches of soil; set the roots 
1/p to 2 feet apart and cover 4 inches deep. In the fall, cut off the 
top growth, and apply stable manure. Early in the spring fork this in 
and apply ground animal bone. Do not continue cutting too long, as

7,000 will plant an acre.
