(See Farm Seed Section, page 40.) ASPARAGUS German, Sparge!. French, Asperge. As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, sow the seeds—previously soaked in water for about 24 hours—in rows about a foot apart. Cultivate between the rows fre- quently, to keep the soil loose and the weeds down. The sec- ond year the plants will be ready for planting in permanent beds. Prepare the ground by working in a liberal quantity of barnyard ma- nure. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart, or when large quantities are grown for market, set 3 or 4 feet apart, which permits horse cultivation. In plant- ing, spread out the roots carefully and cover with about 6 or 8 inches of soil. A rather sandy soil is best. Sow 1 ounce of Seed to 60 feet of drill. 5 lbs. per acre.
