If the fertilizer comes in contact with 
the stem or leaves it may cause a mold 
to develop which will eventually destroy 
the plant. 
WATERING — After transplanting, 
gentle overhead watering is best until 
plants are well established. 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 sup- 
ply of moisture as the root system is 
shallow and any drying out will give a 
setback to normal development. 

DIGGING AND STORAGE In au- 
tumn, when the foliage turns yellow, 
withdraw the water gradually 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 left on, they will decay and 
destroy the tuber.
