Potatoes contribute iron, vitamins Bi and C. The best soil for them is a well drained fibrous loam. On 
clay soils, particularly in certain districts of northern New Jersey, the culture of Potatoes is not recom- 
mended. 
Before planting, work in Sawco General Garden Fertilizer at the rate of 1500 pounds to the acre 
if applied broadcast, or 750 pounds if applied under the row. Cut into pieces, each containing at least one 
good eye; plant 10 inches apart and 3 inches deep in 214-foot rows from April 10 to May 31. 
Allow 7 to 10 pounds for each 100 feet of row; 600 pounds will plant an acre. Growing period around 
125 days. Potatoes are ready to dig after tops have died down completely. Early Potatoes mature in 9 to 
11 weeks, Iate Potatoes in 12 to 14 weeks. 
Use Semesan Bel on your seed Potatoes at planting-time. It controls disease and produces increased 
yields of healthy plants and tubers. 1 tablespoonful will treat 100 pounds. Spraying with Bordeaux 
Mixture for blights and scab, and with Lead Arsenate for the potato beetle (14inch long, yellow with 
black stripes) are a necessary process with the growing crop.

so highly nutritious that in the New York area 
everyone should grow it in localities where Potatoes

be grven consideration in northern New Jersey, for 
example, as an ideal home-garden food crop.

RADISHES 
Re eS ee 
Fresh-pulled Radishes are refreshing. They are 
an excellent source of vitamin By and a fair source of 
vitamin G. They furnish a good amount of copper. 
As early in the spring as the ground can be 
worked, sow sparingly, 44 inch deep, any of the 
round or oliver shaed WReCES allowing 1 to 144 
feet between the rows. Thin to 1 inch apart (sum- 
mer and winter sorts need 4-inch spacing). Hoe 
frequently. The round and olive-shaped sorts serve 
until June 15, when Icicle and Cincinnati Market 
are at their best. Summer sorts are good until frost 
from repeated sowings. Winter varieties should be 
sown from July 15 to August 15, and may be pulled 
after light frosts and stored through winter. 
One ounce will plant about 100 feet of drill. One 
generous bunch per foot of row is an average yield.
