Although Sweet Potatoes are commonly associated 
with the South, they can be grown with relative ease 
and amazing success in the home gardens of New 
England. You can’t imagine how delicious they are 
until you have enjoyed the products of your own ef- 
forts. After the weather has become warm, set the 
plants 1 foot apart in rows that have been hilled up 
to 6 inches above the level of the ground. They will 
grow rapidly, covering 8 to 10 feet with luxuriant 
green, viney growth. All they require is deeply pre- 
pared, well drained soil that has been treated with a 
fertilizer of high potash content. Try a rowin the gar- 
den this year anid you will never be without them 
again.

Aroostook Potatoes, certified as seed stock by the Maine Department of Agriculture. 
Potatoes should be planted during April or early May. They will thrive in almost any fertile, well- 
drained, somewhat acid soil. Do not use lime. The soil should be plowed or deeply dug over and furrows 
6 inches deep and 2!% to 3 feet apart, should be made. A commercial fertilizer with high phosphorus and 
potash content should be thoroughly mixed with the soil at the bottom of the furrow (about 20 lbs. per 
100 ft. row) and about 2 inches of unfertilized topsoil should be placed over it. , 
Cut each Potato into three or more pieces with at least one good eye to the piece. Treat with Semesan- 
Bel and plant, about 10 inches apart, in the prepared furrows. Cover with 3 or 4 inches of soil. Cultivate 
constantly throughout the season. (10 bushels are sufficient to plant one acre)
