Asparagus, its culture for home use and for market A practical treatise on the planting, cultivation, harvesting, marketing, and preserving of asparagus, with notes on its history

"Asparagus, its culture for home use and for market" by F. M. Hexamer is an early 20th-century guide to growing asparagus. It teaches the reader how to plant it, grow it, pick it, sell it, and keep it for future use, and includes details about asparagus's past and how it grows. The author hopes to show that growing asparagus isn't as hard as people think and to highlight how good and useful it is as a food source. The book starts by talking about how more and more people are growing asparagus, but it also shows that there aren't many good books to teach them how, and notes his use of both research and experience as cornerstones of the lessons.
