This, of course, requires greenâ€" house conditions because early in the year means the month of January. Plants may thus be produced for bedâ€" ding the same season. The usual method of propogation, however, is by division of the stored roots, From a very few plants one with care can quickly increase his stock. That is to say, a single plant ‘set in the spring will make four or five in the autumn. Cannas are gross fesders and not unlike the corn plant in habit of growth. The richer the ground and the deeper it is prepared the better the plants will do. They require plenty of water, althbough watering can be overdone.

Ruralists realize this, espeâ€" | cially since in many cases in the forâ€" | mative stage when coâ€"operation was i talked rather than performed, ons was | led to believe that it wou‘ld pave the | streets of life with gold. | No, coâ€"operation is no fountain of ,’youth, no panacea for the ills of econâ€" ‘omic life, no royal road to the milâ€" |lenium in agriculture.
