About this book
Asparagus, Its Culture for Home Use and for Market is a book by F. M. Hexamer. The title page describes it as a practical treatise on the planting, cultivation, harvesting, marketing, and preserving of asparagus, with notes on its history and botany. The table of contents lists chapters on Historical Sketch, Botany, Cultural Varieties, Seed Growing, Harvesting and Marketing, Forcing, Preserving Asparagus and Injurious Insects, among others.
The chapter called Botany says the genus Asparagus belongs to the Lily Family and comprises about one hundred and fifty species, spread through the temperate and tropical regions of the Old World. The chapter on Harvesting and Marketing says the chief labor in asparagus culture is the cutting and bunching. The text says five acres in full bearing will require from six to eight men from four to six hours per day to do the cutting and three or four to do the bunching.
