Asparagus, Pedigreed Mary Washington 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Fr., Asperge; Ger., Spargel; Sp., Esparrago,; It., Asparagi 
Asparagus roots should be planted in trenches, which 
should be prepared at least 2 feet deep and 1 foot wide, 
or 3 rows may be planted in a bed 5 feet wide. The exca- 
vated soil should be placed on each side of the trench; 
then put in a layer of barnyard manure 4 inches deep in 
the bottom of the trench; if manure is not available, use 
other matter rich in organic material. With a spading fork 
work this manure into the subsoil, then fill back the exca- 
vated soil to within 6 inches of the garden grade and your 
trench is now ready to receive the crowns which should be 
placed a foot apart and covered with about 2 inches of 
soil after the roots have been carefully spread out. Do not 
cut any Asparagus the first year as the plant has to build 
up a good root system and strong crowns before it can 
really produce. in the late fall, following planting, clear 
off all tops. The following spring the excess soil on the 
side of the trench can be filled in and the bed is complete. 
If the bed is given an annual dressing of a complete ferti- 
lizer, cultivated and kept free from weeds, it will give an 
abundance of Asparagus for many years.

an additional 10 lbs. of Red Clover, in either case, to the

Ous grasses may be used.
