attention be devoted to it, so that
noxious weeds will never be allowed

The gardener will be well repaid for
keeping the bed scrupulously clean
and free from weeds at all bines. This
necessitates occasional cultivation
during the summer months, though
eultivation may bo dispensed with by
giving the bed a good mulch of ma-

in spring.
Asparagus can be successfully
grown, in almost any soil, provided
the preparation of the bed is given
proper attention. First-class "grass"

also from land that is very heavy,
though the most suitable medium is

PREPARING THE BED,
Instead of beginning with seed, the
amateur will be well advised to pur-
chase one or two year old roots,
though even then it is not advisable to
cut from the bed until the third
spring from planting, and only for
s limited period then.
It is always well to have the bed
prepared in the fall, wben a three-
