ASPARAGUS MUST
 HAVE RICH SOIL
DeIicacy Will Grow in Drained Ground If Plant Food Is
 Properly Applied.
ROOTS BETTER THAN SEED
Spring Is Good Time to Transplant Shoots May Be Rlanched by Ride- ing Up Over Rows With
 Loose Sandy Soil.

Asparagus should have place in every home vegetable garden where It will thrive. This crop can be grown on almost any well-drained soil, but will do best on deep mellow sandy loam, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. There is little possibility of having the land too rich, and liberal applications of partly rot ted barnyard manure should be made before the plants are set. The seeds of asparagus may be sown during the early spring in the rows where the plants are to remain and the seedlings thinned to stand 14 inches apart in the row at the end of the first season. It is usually most satisfactory to pur- chase two-year-ol roots from some scotsman or dealer The roots should be transplanted during the late au- tumn or early spring.
 Before setting out the plants, the land should be loosened very deeply, either by subsoil blowing or deep spad- ing. It is a good plan to remove the topsoil and spade manure into the sub- soil to depth of II or 16 inches then replace the topsol and add more manure. There are two methods of setting an asparagus bed, depending entirely upon the kind of cultivation to be employed in the garden. If the garden space is limited, the plants should be set in solid bed, one foot apart each way In setting asparagus the crowns should be covered to depth of four or five inches.
 The part of the asparagus used as vegetable is the young shoot that is thrown up during the early spring. The shoots are removed when about four or five inches in length by cutting slightly below the surface of the ground, but care should be taken that the knife is not thrust at an angle or the crowns will be injured. If so de- sired, the shoots may be blanched by ridging up over the rows with loose sandy soil or by allowing the mulch to remain and the shoots to make their way through it; but unblanched as-

PEAS REQUIRE MUCH SPACE
Smooth Varieties May Be Sown Early or as Soon as Ground Is in
 Shape to Work.

Peas are not adapted to growing in very small gardens, as they require much space. Most gardeners, how ever, insist upon having few short rows of peas in their gardens. IR large gardens enough peas should be planted to provide surplus for can ming. The smooth varieties pay be sown very early or just as soon as the ground is in shape to work in the spring The wrinkled varieties should not be sown until the ground has warmed slightly. Some of the dwarf varieties can be grown without sup ports, but the larger growing sorts re- quire brush, wire trellis or some form of support. The old-fashioned English sugar pea on good soil will grow tS height of or 6 feet and produce peas until midsummer. It should be borne in mind that under ordinary conditions peas do not with stand great heat. and that they must produce their crop before midsummer. United. States Department of Agri- culture.

neither sufficiently compact nor suffi- ciently branched to make really good hedge.
 Native species, and those least modi- fled by mans crossing and selection gre most suitable for lawn and border planting. Border roses should have little pruning, the removal of the dead wood and the cutting of the whole bush to the ground every five to eight years being the best way of handling most varieties
 Climbing roses used for arbors and trellises may be managed either to give an abundance of bloom or to pro duce shade, but they cannot do both satisfactorily, and they are not we'll adapted to the production of shade as many other plants. Climbing roses should be pruned just after blooming by having the wood of the previous years growth removed.
 Cut-fiower roses need clean culture. severe pruning and special care there fore they should be planted by them selves in secluded beds and should not be used to beautify the grounds in place of the roses appropriate for lawns and borders. Cut-fower roses should be cut each spring to within six inches or one foot of the ground for finest blooms, or one-thlrd to one half the wood should be left if the object is q large quantity of blooms.
 The essentials for satisfactory rose growing are weli-drained retentive soil, thoroughly enriched, preferably with routed manure. Cut-fiower roses particularly need heavy annual ma nuring. Special care must be exer elsed to prevent the roots from drying when out of the ground for transplant ing. Dormant roses should have from one-half to two-thirds of the wood re- moved at the time of transplanting Watchfulness is the price of success with roses.

WOOD ASHES MOST VALUABLE
Those Produced by Burning Hard woods Like Hickory or Oak Con-
 tain Much Potash.

The use of coal ashes is permissible on heavy clay soils. However. they should be screened and all coarse cin- ders removed before being applied, and then should be spread evenly over the surface and thoroughly mixed with the soil as deep as it is plowed or spaded Coal ashes have little value as ferti- lizer. their use being mainly to loosen the soil and make it more workable Wood ashes, especially those produced by burning hardwoods like hickory maple, or oak, frequently contain as high as per cent potash, and are val uable fertilizers. Those produced from burning soft woods. such as pine, and also hardwood ashes that have been exposed to the weather have compara- lively little value as fertilizer About 90 pounds of dry, unbleached hard wood ashes may be applied to plot of ground 30 by 60 feet in size. but should be we'll mixed with the soil

paragus always has a better flavor than blanched, Is more easily produced, and is more satisfactory for home use. Too heavy mulching has tendency to retard the growth of the shoots by keeping the ground cold until late in the spring.
 No shoots should be removed the first year the plants are set in the permanent bed, and the period of cut ting should be short the second year. After the second year the plants be- come well established, and with proper fertilizing and care the bed will last indefinitely. During the cutting sea- son all the shoots should be removed, as the roots will cease TO throw up shoots as soon as cue is allowed to ma lure.
