THE PACIFIC COAST.

Some ten years ago experiments were begun by 

 one of our seedsmen in raising cauliflower and 

 cabbage seed on the alluvial tide lands on the 

 shore of Puget Sound. These lands, after being 

 diked and drained, proved to be remarkably well 

 adapted to the growth of the cauliflower and its 

 seed. Others have since engaged in growing these 

 seeds in the same region, and the business is 

 assuming large proportions. An account of this 

 enterprise may be found in the chapter on Seed.
