If your pie plant roots have ceased ta yield those large, tender stalks that are so desirable, there is some reason for it. Perhaps they were allowed to go to seed, or were depi ived of too mnany leaves. or rnanure vas withheld, or the roots of other plants or trees bave cncroached and robbed themn of food and water. Possibly they have stood too long in one place and have des-eloped too many eyes. If the roots are old the cuowns rnay be un- covered. and aIl the weaker eyes cut aut. Then put on plenty of manure.
