GROWS ASPARAGUS IN TUBES
Frenchman's Manner of Forcing Vege-
table Means Work, But II Pro-
duces Results.

For some time a French agricultu-
rist, M. Bouyeg- Fonteneau, has been
trying a new method OF cultivatlng
asparagus, which they grow and cook
so we'll in France.
Starting from the principle that all
cultivated vegetables, in order to OBJ
tain the best results, ought to be
grown under the same conditions that
they choose for themselves when grow
ing wild, NJ. Bouyer-Fonteneau does
not allow the banking that is usually
done. which he considers harmful
1t is easy to understand that a root
Of asparagus buried a foot or more
In the ground will push stalks towards
the surface for air and light, without
which it would become anaemic, or
rot 1t is better then, to bury 1t only
about a quarter or a third as deep
without banking, and as soon as the
head appears to place over it tube
of pottery, two or two and one-half
inches in diameter and about eight
inches long, filed With earth.
The asparagus pushes up through
this tube sheltered from the light,
which rs necessary, if it is to be white.
When it comes out at the top it is a
simple matter to take away the tube
and cut the stalk with the greatest

the root or the other Shoots,
M. Bouyer-Fonteneau strtes that as
paragus thus treated comes to matur-
ity nearly month in advance of that
banked in the old way. This is cas-
lily explained by the fact that the heat
of the sun acts more quickly on a
root near the surface of the ground
than on one buried deeply. Besides
the stalk once in the tube grows fast
or than in the ground.

very popular man and won the esteem
of all who knew him. He is survived
