Book Description
Excerpt from The Sweet Potato: A Handbook for the Practical Grower Flowers and seed. Although rarely producing owers and less frequently maturing perfect seed in the sweet potato producing areas of the United States, occa sionally a small bell or morning-glory - shaped bloom, with a purple throat and white margin, may be noticed in commercial fields. Matured seed may be produced if the growing period is prolonged by the use of artificial means. These seeds, however, are unreliable for use in perpetuating varieties as the resulting plants cannot be depended on as coming true to the mother plant. In fact, they may differ widely among themselves. This characteristic enables the production of new varieties by selecting strong and prepotent offspring.

Book Description
Excerpt from Growing and Handling Sweet Potatoes in California The term seed as applied to sweet potatoes is a misnomer, just as in the case of Irish potatoes. True seed, developing from flowers and fruit, is seldom seen in the United States, although it has been known to form in southern Florida. Occasionally sweet potatoes bloom in southern California, but seed is rarely formed. However, seed has such a universal meaning among growers that it will be used in this discussion to mean the enlarged portions o-f the root, commonly known as sweet potatoes. Probably one of the limiting factors in the production of a profitable crop of sweet potatoes is the inability to secure good seed in those states where seed certification is not prao ticed. In California neither the demand for certified seed nor the acreage grown at present seems to justify certification. With pro-per precautions it is possible for the grower to select high quality seed from his own fields. The sweet potato itself consists of a root, originally a fibrous feeding root, which in the process of development has thickened for a greater or less distance from the central stem. On each such thickened root, or potato, are found four rows of lateral fibrous feeding roots, which usually disappear before the crop is mature, leaving only slight depressions where they were attached. Fro-m the neighborhood of the root scars, adventitious buds originate and under favorable growing conditions, sprouts are formed. These sprouts have an independent root system and are only weakly connected with the mother potato, fro-m which, however, they derive most of their nourishment. Until they are separated and set. In the Open field. The sweet potato has no true rest period, for the sprouts may start growing at any time under suitable moisture and temperature conditions and often do so in the field when harvesting is delayed and in the storage house in the later part of the storage season.

Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrated Lecture on Sweet Potatoes: Culture and Storage The sweet potato has become one of the very important food crops of the United States and the acreage devoted to it could be greatly increased without reducing the unit value of the crop. There are thousands of farmers in the South who do not have a constant supply of good potatoes throughout the year, and very few of the small cities and towns of this terri tory have a continuous or suitable supply. Very few of the small cities of the West and Middle West have a supply of potatoes except during a few weeks in autumn.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sweet Potato Production in California The potatoes used for propagating are called seed or seed stock. The smaller potatoes ranging from one to two inches in diameter are most suitable for this purpose. Larger potatoes may be used, but they are more expensive and do not produce so many plants from a given quantity of seed stock. Where it is necessary to use large potatoes, the yield of plants can be increased by splitting the potatoes lengthwise, and bedding with the flat side down. The selection of sweet potato seed is discussed in detail at the end of this circular. Growers in the Turlock district allow about 400 pounds of seed for each acre to be planted. From to plants to the acre are required, depending on the distance of planting. If there is no disease, the seed disinfected, the hotbed properly prepared and carefully handled, 200 pounds of seed should produce enough plants for one acre.
