Thousands OF young cherry trees

"The thing to do, said Profess

The ground should be loosened so
that the mixture penetrates down

Setting an Asparagus Bed.

"What is the best method &c
pursue IN starting an asparagus
bed 2" This question was refer
red to Prof II A. Surface, State
IOologlst, llIrrisburg, by one ol
the newspapers of Philadelphia,
the information having been ask
ed by a correspondent of the pa.
per. 1t elected the following re
ply;
"ln planting an asparagus bed
the ground should be spaded or
plowed deeply, or to depth Of
twelve inches, if possible. In
turning the soil, manure should
be mixed we'll with it and, IN fact,
some of the fertilizer should be
turned under completely. The
soil cannot be made too fertile.
Three or four inches of manure
well turned under and stirred in

Dig holes to depth of eight inch

feet, making them five feet apart

four feet. Put two inches O.

bottom of each hole and set the
asparagus plant or root on this

cake when tramped, and then
tramp it with the feet firmly

this kind of plant grow is to pack
the earth quite firmly about Il e
roots, but not to have 1t so wet
that 1t will cake or form bali.
Next, throw two or three inches
of loose earth over the packed
earth, leaving a depression in the
ground for watering and future
filling. AS the little weeds start,
