Abstract
A SHORT article by Messrs. A. Powell Jones and H. I. Moore, in the Gardeners' Chronicle of December 21, directs the attention of farmers and gardeners to the possibility of lifting potatoes in a turgid condition. The slightest damage to the skins of tubers in such a state will produce unsightly cracks which reduce the culinary value and so lower the financial returns from the crop. Turgidity may be induced naturally, as when copious rain follows drought or severe frost, or it may occur if the foliage is killed by spray chemicals. The turgid condition passes after a day or two, and the tubers can then be harvested with safety.
