Although Sweet Potatoes are commonly associated with the South, 
they can be grown with relative ease in the home gardens of New England. 
Set the plants one-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. Try a row in the garden this year. 
PUMPKINS 
Sow the seed about May 15, in hills spaced 5 feet apart. Allow from 5 to 6 
seeds per hill and cover with not over one inch of soil. Prepare the soil by thor- 
oughly spading in about two shovelfuls of well-rotted manure to each hill. 
1 ounce of seed will plant 30 hills
