August 8, 1907. 



The heads are of a light brimstone color, 

 and the first year about four good-sized 

 heads are pliduced. Sometimes there 

 are as many as nine, but then they are 

 much smaller, but all the heads are 

 quite marketable. When these heads are 

 cut the stump must be allowed to stand, 

 and each year the shoots increase in 

 number. If too many are produced, and 

 are rather weakly, they should be 

 thinned. 



This variety produces its heads be- 

 tween the season of the ordinary broc- 

 colis and the spring cabbages, and is 

 quite hardy, standing the frost well. 

 After the first year the ground needs 

 forking up between the rows, and a 

 liberal manurial top-dressing applied, 

 and as the winter approaches a dressing 

 of soot is advantageous. As soon as 

 the flower heads begin to appear a 

 plentiful supply of liquid manure is of 

 great assistance. It is difiScult to over- 

 feed, and it is impossible to obtain a 

 good crop without good tillage.

ODDS AND ENDS. 



Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) 

 brightened the gardens and garden plots 

 of our ancestors and now we are seeing 

 something in it worthy of cultivation. 

 The wonder is we did not see it 'long 

 ago, but I suppose most of us thought 

 it not high-toned enough for our time. 

 It is a case of merit wins. 



I suppose many boys now gardeners 

 beheaded many a beautiful foxglove 

 when unrestrained, untutored and run- 

 ning wild in some part of one or other 

 of the coxintries across the water, vrith no 

 idea that some day he would consider 

 the object of his attack one of the most 

 handsome biennial plants in the land of 

 his adoption. 



Meadow saffron (Colchicum autumn- 

 ale) blooms late in the autumn, before 

 the leaves develop. Their rosy or white 

 flowers have a decidedly peculiar appear- 

 ance. The leaves are not produced until 

 the spring following. This plant is a 

 native of the British isles, where it 

 grows in the fields in large numbers and 

 produces a pleasing effect during the 

 months of August and September. 



The wallflower (Cheiranthus alpinus) 

 is another charming plant long a favor- 

 ite in bygone days, but for some time for- 

 gotten, now coming to be fully appreci- 

 ated on its merits. ^ ^
