The best practice is to set aside a space at one end of the garden area or in any other suitable location where they can grow undisturbed without interfering with the working of annual crops. The first task in preparing a comâ€" plete Victory Garden for 1943 should be the planting of perennial crops, and the preparation of seed bed for fall sown crops. The soil for perennial crops should be prepared even more thoroughly than for annuals, since the plants sre to remain: undisturbed for many Americo will get its mm many months earlier than some of the dates that have been projected in the wi discussion of these t skyâ€"boots, it was indicated by a Nashâ€"Kelvinator announcement this week.

The asparagus bed may be set this fall, getting plants from dealers.

Half a dozen plants will be sufficient to provide an ample supply for the average family. Asparagus should be set deeply, as illustrated, with the roots well spread out, and the soil thoroughly firmed about them to exclude air pockets. Spinach and leaf lettuce for the first spring crop may be planted in the fall to advantage. Prepare the bed and scatter the seed in the rows as late as possible before the: soil freezes. The idea is to get the seed sown so late that it will not germiâ€" nate until. next spring but will be ready to sprout as soon as the first favorable weather sweels the germ in the seed.
