AMERICAN GARDENER. Ul 



if any of them have not perfected their heads when 

 the sharp, frosts come, take them up by the root, 

 hang them up by the heels in a warm part of a 

 barn, or in a cellar ; they will get tolerably good 

 heads; and you will have some of those heads to 

 eat at Christmas. The seed, on account of the 

 heat) is extremely difficult to save in America ; 

 but, if a fall Cauliflower were kept in a Green- 

 house during winter, and put out three weeks 

 before corn-planting time, I am persuaded, it 

 would bring good seed in June. The quantity 

 of this plant must depend upon the taste for it ; 

 but, it is so much better than the very be- 1 of 

 cabbages, that it is worth some trouble to get it.

 are universally known. There are three or four 

 sorts. The white, the red, the hollow, and the 

 solid. The hollow white is the best; but the pro- 

 pagation and cultivation of all are the same. The 

 whole of that part of the year, daring which the 

 frost is out of the ground, is not a bit too long for 

 the getting of fine Celery. The seed, sown in 

 the cold ground, in April, will lie six weeks be- 

 fore it come up,. A wheel-barrow full of hot 

 dung, put in a hole in the ground against a wall, 

 or any fence, facing the south, and covered with 

 rich and fine mould, will bring the seed up in two 

 weeks. If you have a hot -bed frame, or a hand- 

 light, the thing is easy. A large flower-pot will 

 bring up out of ground, plants enough for any 

 family. As soon as the plants are three inches 

 high, and it scarcely matters how thick they 

 stand, make a nice little bed in open free air ; 

 make the ground rich and the earth very fine. 

 Here prick out the plants at 4 inches apart ; and,
