Avoid planting near trees or tall shrubs, because of the shade and heavy draft on the fertility of the ground. Choose an open space with a southern exposure. Put the soil into the best possible condition before planting by working in a liberal quantity of well rotted manure, or commercial fertilizer will do where barnyard manure is not available. For family gardens dig a trench 18 inches wide for each row, placing a few inches of manure in the bottom, covering it with two or three inches of soil to prevent the roots coming in contact with the manure before active growth has begun. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart in thf rows, and 36 inches between the rows. In field culture it is best to set the plants three to four feet apart. In planting, the roots should be spread by dividing them in the middle, setting them over little hills of soil placed in the bottom of the trench, thus raising the crown a few inches above extremities of the roots, and at once cover with three or four inches of soil for green, and eight to ten inches for white Asparagus, taking care to press the soil firmly about the roots.
