Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of USDA Farmer's Bulletin No. 829, 'Asparagus: How to Grow and Use Asparagus' is short and sweet, but packed with practical, essential tips and info on growing asparagus. With topics like soil preparation, fertilizers, cultivation, after-season care, varieties and more, this booklet is a must for the home-gardener and the commercial-grower alike. Written in 1917, making it a century old, this asparagus booklet is still as relevant and useful as it was when it was first published. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
