In the garden for family purposes
new asparagus beds should be made
now without delay, though any time
this month with answer. The best
plan in making these beds is TO cxca-
vate the earth, whether 1t is soil or
not to the depth of from twenty to
twenty-four inches. remove all the dirt
except the soil. and commence to fiji
up with good layer of horse manure,
press It well down, then layer of soil
and then manure again, leaving the
richest manure for the last eight or ten
inches. Plant two year old roots of
the, Colossal variety, three feet apart
each way, with the crown of the roots
from six to eight inches beneath the
surface.
Keep the beds clear of al, weeds
grass. etc. The plants will make con-
siderable growth the first season. and
the third season there will be some
spires fit to cut. The fourth season.
three years after planting, the bed may
be considered in its full maturity. No
salt should be applied until the bed is
fully established. While there is no
better fertilizer than salt for a bed
once fully producing crop. TO be APP
plicd-carly in April and as soon after
the fall dressing of manure as forked
in as may be convenient--it is death to

weeds and grass. and must be kept
from box edging and young trees. or
