 to try this method. 



Early Rose is perhaps the best early sort. 

 Beauty of Hebron is good sized and matures 

 quickly. Early Ohio is edible before it ripens. 

 Burbank's Seedling is a medium early sort. 

 Rural New York No. 2 heads the list of late 

 varieties, because of its keeping qualities. 



Sweet potatoes require more warmth and a 

 well drained or sandy soil. They form a very 

 important crop in the South. Planting con- 

 sists of two operations. In the spring, the 

 tubers are placed four to six inches under the 

 soil in hot-beds or in other warm location where 

 a number of shoots or ''slips'' sprout from each. 

 In about a month, when the shoots are several 

 inches above the ground, they are cut o& and 

 planted in the garden row eighteen inches apart. 

 To aid growth, these rows should be in the form 

 of broad ridges. If the parent potatoes are left 

 in the ground another lot of sprouts will grow. 

 Dig up the crop before the first autumn frost 

 is due.
