Asparagus, its culture for home use and for market

'Asparagus' is a treatise on the planting, cultivation, harvesting, marketing, and preserving of asparagus, with notes on its history and botany. Asparagus is one of the earliest, most delicious, and surest products of the garden. Its position among other vegetables is unique, and when once planted it lasts a lifetime; it may be prepared for use in great variety, and may be canned or dried so as to be available at any time of the year."
