Asparagus 
One oz. to 60 ft. of row. 
Asparagus is a slow grower, requiring 
at least three years to mature from seed, 
and is therefore not generally recom- 
mended to the small garden. Usually, un- 
less you go into Asparagus raising on a 
large scale, it is better that you get the 
roots in preference to raising from seed.
