A Single Hill of “Girasol,” 
"GIRASOL"—The Lazy Man’s Spud 
“Girasol” is a tuber, related to both Artichokes and 
Sunflowers. It is a native of America, though has been 
grown in Europe for many years, especially in France. 
The tubers outyield potatoes 2 or 3 to 1, yielding from 10 
to 20 tons per acre. “Girasol” tops yield 10 to 20 tons 
of silage per acre. The foliage becomes so dense that after 
one or two cultivations the weeds cannot survive. 
“Girasol” is propagated by tubers only and cannot be¬ 
come a serious pest. It is not injured by freezing, and it 
may be harvested in the fall or the spring following. 
All stock and poultry like “Girasol” tubers. 
VALUABLE FOOD FOR DIABETICS 
The tubers may be eaten raw, or cooked, and are used 
for human consumption the same as other vegetables. Mil¬ 
lions of people who have to limit their use of starchy 
food, may substitute “Girasol” in which the carbohydrates 
are in the form of inulin instead of starch. It is particu¬ 
larly valuable for diabetics. 
Planting should be done in rows so that silage can be 
cut with a corn binder and the tubers dug with a potato 
digger. Will grow on most any kind of soil, the richer 
the better. Gut the tubers and plant like potatoes.
