PLANTS

suitable condition. 
CULTURE: Sow seed thick 
in rows 20 inches apart. Use 
plenty of water for the seed 
has a hard hull. After the 
plants start growing do not 
cultivate closely as this will 
injure the roots. The follow- 
ing spring or second year 
the roots should be dug, sep- 
arated and transplanted in 
the field or garden, making 
trenches about 4 inches deep, 
6 inches wide; place roots, 
crown up, 20 inches apart. 
Leave the rows 34 feet 
apart. If you do not care to 
wait and raise your own 
roots we can supply you 
with two-year-old roots of 
the varieties listed below. 
Asparagus does not require 
as much water as most veg- 
etable crops.
