- catalog abstract ""Sugar cane requires a warm climate and long season, so its culture in the United States is limited to a region 200 to 300 miles wide along the extreme South Atlantic coast and the Gulf cast and to some low-lying valleys under irrigation in southwestern Arizona and southern California. It is also a gross feeder and requires heavy fertilizing and strong soils peculiarly adapted for and susceptible of good cultivation. Sugar cane rarely matures seed in the continental United States, but is propagated from cuttings from the stalks, even in tropical countries. A crop is usually grown the second season, sometimes the third, from the rootstocks which are left in the ground. There are few varieties in the United States, but some promising new sorts have been introduced recently. An abundance of humus is necessary in the soil which may be supplied by barnyard manure and by green-manure crops. Proper rotation of crops is extremely helpful. This bulletin aims to give directions for growing and harvesting sugar cane in those regions where sirup is produced and where it is essentially a small-farm business."--Page 2.".
