OANNAS-
Last year and this, many people
have complained that their caunas
were not doing a well as they had
done previously. Giant caunas that
ought to be six feet high now, are
only half that high, and are not
growing. Xhe writer has given at
tention to caunas for the past six
years, and he concludes that the
failure of his own plants is because
of planting them in the same soil
year after year. They require fibre
in the soil, and this has been ex
hausted. A liberal wetting with
liquid manure will help them. Next
fall the top soil should be taken off
and replaced with old sod and man
ure. This is the opinion of Mr.
Runyon, an expert on such matters
at Dillon's Green houses.
