287. Early Scarlet Globe Radishes 



Sweet Potatoes 



Culture. Don't wait for a rain or a 

 "season" to set out Sweet Potato plants. 

 Harrow your ground well before laying it off', 

 then throw up the ridges higher than you 

 want them, and if the soil is very dry, allow 

 2 or 3 days for the moisture to rise. Then 

 knock off the top of the ridge just ahead of 

 planting; make a mud batter with water and 

 clay loam, or better, with the addition of 

 fresh cow-dung, about as thick as cream; 

 dip the plants, in hands of about 20, into 

 this, so that mud clings to them.
