The Improved Variety 
Here is a large, fast-growing variety 
of asparagus that can be used the first 
year after planting. And, it is sweeter, 
more tender and more prolific than the 
other varieties we know. 
It is easy to raise _an asparagus bed 
with this new one. Just set the plants 
in the bottom of a trench that is about 
8 inches deep. Do not cover the tops 
over more than 2 or 3 inches at first; 
gradually fill in the furrow or trench 
as the plants grow. Set the plants 
about 18 inches apart in the row and 
have all rows around 3 ft. apart. Cul- 
livate thoroughly the first couple of 
seasons and fertilize well in late fall. 
This new asparagus looks like it may 
soon replace other varieties entirely.
