ASPARAGUS 
A hardy perennial; will bear over 20-year 
period if properly cared for. We recom- 
mend purchase of ASPARAGUS 
ROOTS rather than seeds, as roots pro- 
duce crop 2 years earlier. If seed is 
used, sow thinly in drills in early Spring. 
Cover to Yo” depth. Soak seed 24 hrs. 
before planting. Sow in loose, rich, moist 
soil after weather warms up. Thin to 
stand 6” apart. When a year old and in 
early spring transplant in well enriched 
beds in permanent position, 24” apart, 
in rows 20” apart, Set in hole so that 
crown is 8” below surface, but only cover 
tips with 3” of soil. As plants grow, fill 
in until level. Don’t cut first year after 
setting.

ning. Make three sowings, one early,
