Rotation Of Garden Crops.

by rotation in vegetable garden" is meant
regular succession ofcrops, so that the same kinds
shall not Immediately follow each other For as
plants of the same sort consume similar elements
of food contained in the soil it follows that their
continued cultivation on the same spot will more
or less deprive the land Of the constituents upon
which they feed.
The simplest rule, ms TO rotations Of annual and
biennial vegetables, is, that they should succeed
each other as nearly as possible in different
classes For instancc-leguminou class (peas
and beans) which have deep growing roots,
should be followed by some of the numerous
cabbage tribe, such as turnips, cabbages, cauli-
flowers, carrots, parsnips and other roots should
again succeed the cabbage tribe while onions
and other bulbous-rooted vegetables may again

may have been consumed by the plants it has
nourished If left uncultivated by the hand OF
man, it will produce rotations Of natural grasses,
weeds. or trees, rather than remain at rest.
The greatest profits realized in garden in
which the crops are raised and consumed in rapid
succession. The market gardener who can clear
out square of any particular vegetable in a SIM
gle week, and Immediately re-sow OF re-plant it
with another, makes more off his ground than he
who disposes Of his crop but slowly, and yet docs
not break up his square before the whole has been
cleared off Thus instead of selecting up and
down in square the most forward cabbsges, il
may be better when the ground is wanted and
the season presses, for a new CROP to cut off any
other The loss ola good season may be- the
consequence of waiting for further growth
even for single day.
