Asparagus. ©parget. Asparagus can be grown from seed or propagated from roots. Sow the seed in April or May, on good soil, in drills 12 to 14 inches apart. When one or two years old transplant as early in the spring as the ground can be worked into permanent beds, made very rich and thoroughly trenched 2 feet or more in depth. Set the plants in rows 2 feet apart and 12 inches apart in the row. Care should be taken that the roots are well spread and set at a depth of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 2 or 3 inches, and fill in gradually as the plants grow. Very little, if any, should be cut the first year after transplanting, but a fair crop can be cut the second year. Every fall after the tops have been cut down, apply a dressing of coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in. An occasional top-dressing of salt is also beneficial, and keeps down the weeds. One ounce of seed will sow 40 feet of drill. Columbian Mammoth White. The stalks are very large, produced abundantly and very early.
