Tranfplant, if not done laft month, the young cauli- 

 flower plants raifed this Tpring from (dcd. 



For the reception of thefe young plants, let a piece of 

 the richeft ground be chofen, and fpread thereon fome 

 good rotten dung, and then dig the ground one fpade 

 deep ; and as you go on, let the dung be regularly buried. 



The plants are to be fet in this piece at two feet, or two 

 feet and a half each way afunder; and they muft be water- 

 ed as foon they are planted. 



There may be fown, if you choofe it, on the fame 

 piece, between the cauliflower plants, a crop of fpinach, 

 which will come in for ufe before the cauliflowers have ac- 

 quired any confiderable growth. 



Solving Caulijlonfjer -feed for a Michaelmas Crop. 

 ■ Sow cauliflower-feed : the plants that are raifed from 

 this fowing v.'ill come into ufe in Odober, and will be in 

 high perfedion the greatell part of November, and fome- 

 times longer. 



This is what the London gardeners call the Michaelmas 

 cauliflowers. 



• Obferve the feed for this crop mnft not be fowed till 

 about the 24th of thiis month ; at which time prepare a 

 three or four feet wide bed of rich earth, in a free fltua- 

 tion. Get fome good feed of the laft year's faving ; fovv 

 this equally, moderately thick, and rake it carefully in, 

 and fprinkle the bed often in dry weather with water. 



When the plants have got two or three leaves an inch 

 broad, they fhould be pricked out into a nurfery-bed to 

 attain fl:rength for final tranfplantation. See 'June and 



Broccoli. 



Broccoli-feeds, both of the purple and white kinds, 

 muil be fown this month, for the fecond principal crop, 

 for ufe the following fpring. 



It will be advifeable to fow a little of this feed at two 

 difl^erent times this month, in order to have a proper fup- 

 ply ; therefore fow fome feed of both kinds in the firft 

 week in the month, and more about the twentieth; the 

 plants raifed from thefe fo wings will produce their heads
