This special reprint edition of U.S. Department of Agriculture's book "Asparagus Culture: How to Grow, Harvest and Preserve Asparagus" is a go-to guide for the home grower, market gardener, and commercial producer alike. Written in 1915, this classic text is now over a century old but is as relevant and useful today as it was all those decades ago when it was first published. Topics covered include history, canning & drying, varieties, manuring beds, harvesting & marketing, diseases and lots more. 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.
