growers use for making the burrows a
special pillow that makes "a furrow about
18 inches deep Some growers, especial
ly on heavy land, make them ~ inches
deep. The trenches are made from 3 y
to AZ or 8 feet apart. Each grower
has his own ideas about depth, distances
apart, fertilizers, etc.
Some growers prefer 1-year old roots
and some 2-year- old. Whichever are
used they should be strong and vigor-
Gus. The plants are put in the bottom
of the trench Is to IS inches apart and
partially covered with soil. The trench
es are filled gradually as the plants
grow by frequent civilizations which
keep the ground clean. Some growers
use stable manure and consider it best,
while Others prefer commercial fertili.
zers, and still others are governed by
circumstance as to their choice. Some
apply fertilizers always in the spring,
while others fertilize the old beds i'm
mediately after the cutting season each
year, claiming that this gives the plants
good, strong growth and fits them for
sending up numerous large shoots the
next season. The ordinary tillage tools
are used for keeping the beds clean,
though some large growers have special
tools. The old tops are removed each
spring, the surface thoroughly worked
up and left in ridges over the rows. In
fighting the new asparagus rust the
New Jersey station recommends remov-
ing and burning the tops in the fall
The most popular variety has always
been the Ccnover's Colossal, though
Bars Mammoth is grown by some, and
more recent additions have been Pal
metto, Columbian White and others.
At the New Jersey experiment station
Palmetto was the least affected by the
new and destructive asparagus rust of
all the varieties tested.
Cutting begins as soon as the shoots
begin to show nicely above the surface.
1t is done by means of a special knife,
requires great care and Is hard work.
Careless work would destroy many of
the buds that are just starting. The
beds are usually cut over every day.
The shoots are put into punches weigh
