ASPARAGUS AND RHuBARD.

One OF the advantages with these is
that they are ready for use early in
the spring when, usually, there is n
scarcity of everything of this kind.
Another advantage is that, if properly
cared Tor, bed can be made to last
number of years without reDlanting.
This is especially true of asparagus.
but with rhubarb it will be best TO re.
set the plants, dividing them up every
hVe years. On account of their start
ing to grow very early, and making n
rapid growth, 1T Is very essential that
the soil be very rich. In fact there
are lew plants that will stand more
coarse, flesh manure than these two.
In the fall is one of the best times
for setting out the plants. The ground
should be plowed III II good filth and
made rich 10y applying plenty of
manure and working well into the soil.
In selecting place for them 1t will be
best to have on one side or end Of tbn

cultivation Is necessary, it will save
time and labor in cultvating. Make
the rows Mt least three feet apart and
set the plants three feet npart IN the
rows. In setting out the ASPARAGUS
plants, care must be taken TO spread
out the roots evenly and to press the
soil well down upon the roots. Three
rows each fifty feet long will furnish
all that any average family will need.
NO cultivation will he needed i'm the
fall, but 1T will pay TO give good
dressing OF manure late in the fall or
early winter This will act as n mulch
during the winter, and Mt the same
time add that much to the fertility.
This can be forked into the soil carl,
IN the spring.

crops that can be grown more economi-
