Asparagus now requires only the large weeds cleared out till next month, when the stalks must be cut down, and the beds winter-dressed. Forced asparagus for the first winter crop may be planted in hot-beds at the latter end of this month, under frames and glasses, to cut in November; and by continuing to plant successional hot-beds, every month, it may be obtained in constant supply all winter and spring, till the production of the natural crops in May.
