the utmost care before planting
the crowns. Applications of barn-
yard or green manure fertilizer
should be broadcast and mixed
well into the soil The rows should
be opened 10 to 12 Inches deep
«nd (i to 12 inches wide
Mary and Martha Washington
are the two best verities. Plant
large, one-year crowns which have
well-developed root systems, and
Iftrne well-distributed buds are the
best. Crowns more than 2 year.,
old should never be used.
Plant 19 to 24 inches apart Dis- i
turb the roots as little as possible, ,
Plant from 6 to 12 Inches deep, j
but planting should be deeper in !
light soil:, than in heavier Cover
