ADDENDA Asparagus. — Select, for planting, the plants which have coarse roots and shoots, rejecting all which have fine roots and small though numerous shoots.

Sprinkle the heads thoroughly; one application is usually enough, unless soon washed off by heavy rains. The saltpeter will not discolor Cauliflower heads.
