Keep the ground in good condition by thorough irrigation and cultivation. Do not. Burbank's Giant Winter Crimson Rhubarb. The Smaller the Older Sort. attempt to cut any asparagus until the plants have grown two years. After the frost has killed the tops, cut them off close to the ground and then follow with a plow, throwing the dirt away from the plants. In the spring, plow the earth back into the rows, leaving the plants under the ridge. The next season the bed will be ready for cutting and the method of handling should be in the same manner as has been recom- mended. Thorough manuring and a limited amount of stock salt will promote the growth of fine large tender stalks. Cutting should be done just as soon as the aspara- gus begins to show itself through the ground. In the interior valleys it is neces- sary to irrigate. Conover's Colossal.

Before planting, manure the ground and then plow deep and get the soil well pulverized. Set the plants two to three feet apart, with four feet between the rows. The first year after planting, allow the plants to retain their leaves. The following winter give a liberal dressing of manure, covering same without injury to the roots. Never strip the plant of all of its leaves and do not continue the cutting too lat
