The Rotation Of Plants.

Geraniums will grow In any soil, but
must have only a moderate amount Of
manure and not too much water. Pan
sizes like the richest kind Of light,
loamy soil Most shrubs like a moder-
ately rich soil, with yearly applications
Of manure on the surface over ths
roots. Cannas like the richest possible
kind Of soil. With abundance Of water
after they start 20 grow.
For some reason which cannot be
fully explained some plants will not do
well two years In succession IN tho
same place. Especially is this true OF
asters and sweet peas It Is more or
less true OF all plants. That is why
the farmer rotates his crops and why
the gardener should meyer, II she can
avoid II, plant the same variety in the
same place oftener than once in three
years.
