TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS MISCELLANEOUS ROOTS AND PLANTS ASPARAGUS It is far more econom- ical to use the Asparagus roots than to attempt to sow the seed, for at least a year's time is saved. For garden culture, the plants should be set in rows about 2 feet apart and I foot apart in the rows, with the crowns 5 to 7 inches below the sur- face. Before cold weather comes on, cover the beds heavily with manure, and in the spring work it into the ground, being careful not to injure the tender tops, or cut down to the roots. The young shoots may be cut for the table the second season. For field culture the rows should be 6 feet apart and the plants 2 feet apart in the rows.
