Asparagus Culture and Packing Methods in 1900s News
An account from The Rural New Yorker outlines white asparagus production near Oyster Bay New York. Deep furrows and trenching, 12 to 18 inches deep, with 3 to 5 feet row spacing, strong one or two year old roots, careful transplanting, and progressive trench filling. Harvest begins as shoots emerge, with specialized knives and several packing methods including two dozen bunch crates and damp moss for shipping. Varieties include Conover's Colossal Palmetto and Odorisa White, amid rust concerns in Palmetto at a New Jersey station.
