Hawaii offers immense possibilities
to the gardener. So far as most small
fruits and vegetables are concerned
there is no season, for they can be
planted at any time and are maturing
at all seasons of the year. Strawberries
are available at all times. Raspberries
bear for six months. Tomatoes bear
for years and grow into small trees.
Plants Of the lima bean and cucumber
bear for over a year. The islands have
a mean temperature of between 20 and
80, with a very small margin of varia-
ton from these figures the year round.
-Four crops Of potatoes may be pro
duced on the same field in one year.

The potato growers on the irrigated
lands Of Colorado are in clover this
year-blg crops and unheard Of prices.
These potatoes are, to our taste, infe-
rior to the Murphy raised in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, but they are large,
smooth and good sellers. The best Irish
potato is produced on some newly clear
ed timber tract Of the north country.

Of corn. In other words, the further
north the potato is grown so as to fully
mature the better 1t is.

There is not half the show for bugs
under limited monarchy that there is
under a republic; for Instance, the Colo
RADIO potato bug had the run Of this

everybody turned out to kill them,
while $50 penalty was imposed on
any person knowingly harborlng them.
That's the way to fight bugs.
