ASPARAGUS 
Fresh and Tender from Your Own Garden. 
Easy to Grow! 
A little space in the garden will grow all of the Asparagus you 
will need. Plant the roots in deep, rich soil, the crowns about 4 
inches below the surface. Spread out the roots naturally and well, 
packing the earth firmly around them. For best results, fertilize 
annually with well-rotted manure when through cutting in June. 
It is best not to cut Asparagus the first year.
