Up to a few years ago, says Vick's. II
was the almost lnvariable rude to grow
asparagus in beds. We believe il still
continues as a practice, though really
there is very little asparagus grown in
the South outside of the market gardens.
Now, while we should not think of plant
ing asparagus in any such manner, there
are two other plants that we would not
think of planting any other way viz:
celery and Strawberries Many wears go
we gave over entirely all attempts to raise
celery by the usual plan--the giant varie-
ties planted out in trenches four or five
feet apart, with great banks of dirt ri ed
UP against the plants ultimately to effect
bleaching. For the ordinary home or kitch-
en- garden the old plan Is rapidly going out
of use and with the introduction of popu-
lar dwarf varieties the bed plan is being
substituted for the Old plan
Applied to the cultivation of straWber-
ries the bed plan is far more adapt able
really than to either Of the two foremen-
toned plants.
For the average home garden of the
country, either North or South il is the
method for giving the most salts
factory results, especially where there
are facilities for irrigation even
in small way as are possessed
in many cases of small gardens in or
the medium of wind mills too, a large
number of country gardens are supplied
with an abundance OF water.
Wherever there is any water supply
there is certainly no way that il can be
Used with more profitable results than in
growing Strawberries, and particularly so
when they are grown in beds with
trenches between which are kept con-
stantly filled with water during the grow
ing season.
1t is only those who can irrigate this
crop that can make the best success In
growing II. or course more or less sue
