potatoes deeper in sandy soil than in heavier ground, a good average depth being 5 inches. They should be 
spaced 14 inches apart in the rows with the rows 30 inches apart. When dividing tubers for planting do not cut the 
pieces too small. Each piece should be at least one cubic inch and have at least two eyes. Better results will be obtained if the 
cut surfa^ is allowed to dry or heal for 24 hours before planting, and some growers make a practice of dusting with sulphur 
or hme. Plant 600 pounds per acre for the spring crop and 800 to 900 lbs. per acre for early crops when potatoes are dug small 
If potatoes follow alfalfa or melilotus, good yields can usually be obtained without the use of commercial fertilizer but A & M 
Special Potato Fertilizer listed below will be found profitable. Keep the soil moist at all times. Do not judge moisture bv the ap¬ 
pearance of the plants as when they become dark green or begin to turn yellow it is then too late to apply water for best results 
It is advisable to cultivate often to conserve moisture and keep down weeds. When cultivating, throw the earth toward the plants 
a little higher each time until at the last cultivation the ridges are six to ten inches high and broad in proportion so the tuber<? 
will be kept cool and free from tuber moth infection. 
Potaf-o Tn^nection potatoes are subject to rigorous inspection by County Horticultural authorities, thus ensur- 
M. vft.at.v jng. great protection to the grower.

DIP TREATMENT OF POTATOES 
To growers who wish to disinfect potatoes before planting, 
we highly recommend SEMESAN BEL, a preparation designed 
specificaljy to furnish an easy, rapid and simple method of seed 
potato disinfection. Semesan Bel dries quickly on the ■ seed 
forming a thin coating of disinfectant. Surface-borne organ¬ 
isms of rhizoctonla, scab and black leg are usually destroyed. 
The treatment also frequently promotes more uniform germi¬ 
nation of seed pieces and often improves the stand and the vigor 
of the plants. Semesan Bel readily mixes with cold water. One 
make 10 quarts of dip and will treat approximately 
1,200 lbs. of whole or large seed pieces and about 850 lbs. of 
small or cut seed. PRICES— (4 oz. tin 50c) (1 lb. tin $1.75) (5 
lb. tin $8.00) (25 lb. pail $31.25) f. o. b. Los Angeles. Cannot 
be mailed. (Write for descriptive circular.) 
A & M Roselle 
Culture — Sow seed 
early in April in the 
field, four feet apa^’t, in 
rows six feet apart. 
Cultivate as Okra 
There is an early and a 
late Roselle. Be sure to 
get the early variety, 
because the frost is al¬ 
most sure to destroy 
the late variety before it 
matures. We offer only 
the early variety. 
It is an annual plant 
that ha.s been sufficient¬ 
ly tested to indicate its 
great value and to war¬ 
rant more extended cul¬ 
tivation. The calyx sur¬ 
rounding the seed pod is 
used as soon as the 
flower drops for making- 
jelly and jam. The jelly 
is superior to guava or 
currant, and labeled as 
“Queensland Jelly,” is 
shipped from Australia to 
all parts of Europe. It 
is easily grown from 
seed if planted after the 
ground is warm; grows 
rapidly, resists drouth 
and is very ornamental. 
Every home garden 
should have a row of this 
ornamental and useful 
plant. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.
