cULTIvATlNG GOOD GERANiUMs.
Bed Should Be Sunny and Soil Not
Too Rich.

The geranum bed should be in a sun
ny place. Do not put it in the center of
the lawn, because that dwarfs the place
and epols all artistic effect. If the bed
is in too shady place the plants grow
long and slender and produce abundance
Of large leaves but do not bloom.
The soil in the bed should not be too
rich. A little old rotted manure worked
into the soil is all they want. In over
rich soil they grow too rank and do not
bloom well. Geraniums unlike many
other plants will do well year after year
in the same bed.
Many people have trouble getting the
plants out Of pots. Turn the pot upside
down supporting the soil with the left
hand, the stem of the plant between the
fingers. Strike the top of the pot, turn
ed down sharply on a box or block of
wood. The pot will then slip easily
away from the soil. leaving the plant
with it's bali of earth in the left hand
If the roots are densely matted pinch
them to break them apart. No matter if
you break the roots--it will do no harm.
Plant them firmly little deeper than
they were in the pot Give the bed a
good soaking, then leave it alone, ex-
cept to keep the top soil stirred and the
weeds down. DO not be always sprink-
ling the bed. When water is needed
give the bed a thorough soaking, and be
sure to loosen the soil the next day
