Preparation of the Land. — That these will grow and yield plenty of tops in almost any soil or 

 situation is well known, but if an abundant crop of large and good flavoured tubers is desired, a deep 

 light sandy loam should l)e selected. The ground should receive a moderate allowance of manure 

 in autumn, and be trenched to a depth of two feet at least, ridging it up roughly for the winter. 



Time and Manner of Planting. — Plant early in March, in lines three feet asunder, and 

 aliout eighteen inches apart in the lines. The tubers may be dil)blcd in, as is often done with pota- 

 toes, but we recommend the making of a narrow trench, about six inches deep, in w^hich the tubers 

 can be placed at equal depths with greater certainty ; the soil placed over them should be left in a 

 loose open state. 



After Management. — Some growers practise topping the stems when they are from three to 

 four feet high, but we believe this only causes the formation of an extra quantity of shoots, and is 

 decidedly injurious to the crop : it would be a much better practice, especially where the soil is of a 

 j somewhat strong and damp nature, to thin out the shoots when a few inches high, not leaving more 

 ! than two or three from a tuber, but this will be unnecessary where the soil is light and of a rather 

 ; dry nature. Keep the ground free from weeds by frequent deep hocings. The tubers may be left in 

 ! the ground till wanted lor use, or they mtiy be taken up towards the end of November, and stored in 

 I sand, or soil ; but they must be so covered that the light and air may be eflectually excluded, other- 

 I wise they will be of a dark colour when cooked.
