Rotation of Crops. 



Crops in horticulture are made to follow each other according to two 

 distinct plans or systems, which may be termed successional cropping 

 and simultaneous cropping ; the former is generally followed in private 

 gardens, and the latter in market gardens. 



Successional cropping is that in which the ground is wholly occu- 

 pied with one crop at one time, to be succeeded by another crop, also 

 wholly of one kind. For example, onions to .be followed by winter 

 turnips, or potatoes to be followed by borecole. Simultaneous cropping 

 is that in which several crops are all coming forward on the ground at 

 the same time. For example, onions, lettuce, and radishes, sown 

 broadcast ; or peas, potatoes, broccoli, and spinach, sown or planted in 

 rows. 



The object to be attained by a system of cropping is that of procuring 

 the greatest quantity and the best quality of the desired kind of pro- 

 duce at the least possible expense of labour, time, and manure ; and in
