ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is the first vegetable to 
come in the spring. You can have spears 
to cut from March or April until July 
fcr 20 years. If your garden space is 
limited you can plant enough Asparagus 
for your family along the borders of 
your garden. Asparagus can be grown in 
most all well-drained soil. If your soil 
is rich or made rich it will produce lar- 
ger and more tender spears. The spears 
should rot be cut the first year, cut 
some the second year, but the third year 
you may cut the spears as you desire. 
The deeper the roots are planted the 
longer the bed will last. The roots work 
towards the top of the soil each year. 
MARY WASHINGTON 
Mary Washington asparagus has been 
so satisfactory that other varieties are 
practically forgotten. We want to men- 
tion that the Mary Washington stock 
comes out of the ground plumb straight. 
When you go to bunch them they lay in 
the form straight as pencils.
