Although Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is chiefly known as a vegetable herb, little information about the botanical characteristics of such plant are available. Therefore, it is aimed in this study to bring to light more information about the morphological, anatomical and some important chemical contents of vegetative and reproductive organs of the plant, throughout the consecutive stages of its entire life span under the local conditions. Seeds of asparagus (cv. Mary Washington 500 W) were sown 2nd Feb. 2012. Morphological, anatomical, chemical investigations as well as the scanning electron microscop were carried out in this study
