lf the fertilizer comes in contact 
with the stem or leaves it may 
eause a mold to develop which will 
eventually destroy the plant. 
WATERING— After transplant- 
ing, gentle overhead watering is 
best until plants are well estabh- 
lished. Too heavy watering during 
the young stage may pack the soil, 
thereby causing it to go sour. 
Later, when the plants are in full 
growth, they will require a steady 
supply of moisture as the root SyS- 
tem is shallow and any drying out 
will give a setback to normal 
development. 
DIGGING AND STORAGE—In 
autumn, when the foliage turns 
yellow, withdraw the water grad- 
ually and when all growth dies 
down entirely, take out. wash off 
all soil, taking care not to bruise 
the tubers, dry in sunlight for a 
day or two until thoroughly dry; 
then store in open flats in cool, 
dry place. See that all particles of 
the old stem are removed until 
healthy tissue shows; otherwise, if , h6U; ee. 
left on, they will decay and destroy . “ egy Oe
