Care of early Cauhfioivcrs no-x arrtulng to PcrfeSlion. 



Continue to look over tlie plantations of early cauli- 

 flowers now and then, in order to break down fome of 

 ttie inner leaves, over the young heads, according as they 

 appear. 



Thefe plants, efpecially thofe ilill coming into flower, 

 Should in very dry weather be well watered, which will 

 keep the plants in a growing ilaie, and produce very 

 ii.rge flowers or heads. 



Make a bafon round each plant to contain the water. 



If they have one. or two hearty waterings, that is, about 

 one or tv/o pots to each plant, fo as to moillen the earth 

 as far as their roots extend, they will want no more, 

 and the bafon which was formed to contain the water 

 may then be filled up again.

 earlieft plants when in full perfe^lion, with the largefl,

The feed may h? fown any lime in this month ; but feme 

 time be:ween the tenth and twenry-fifth of the month is 

 the beft time to fow the principal autumn crop. 



However, let the feed be f:>.vn, if poflible, in a drip- 



/ping time; or, at lenil, when there is a profped of rain 

 • failing foon. Take gocd care to f av this feed equally, 

 and rake or harrow it in immediately ; being careful to 

 do this With a very even hand. 



Hoc the turneps v/hich were iown in May, and thin the 

 plants in a regular manner. 



This work fhould always be begun when the plants 

 haAC gotten rough leaves about :n inch broad; fcr then 

 the woik can be performed with expedition and regularity ; 

 and, if done in time, will be of great advantage to the 

 growth of the plants.
