cession, every three weeks until April /j. Varieties: 

 Early Snowball, Gilt Edge. 



Sow in drills one-half inch deep and four inches 

 apart. As soon as the plants have made their 

 first set of true leaves, transplant to another bed, 

 setting the plants about four inches apart. Water 

 and shade and give all the air possible. About 

 April 15, transplant to open ground in good rich 

 soil. Set the plants about two feet apart each 

 way, water freely at all times and stir the soil fre-

 fertilizer strewn around the plants will hasten their 

 growth, and when they show signs of heading, 

 break over the centre a few of the leaves to keep 

 the flower white and to protect it from the sun. 

 Cauliflower cannot be raised in the hottest weather. 

 For fall use, sow the seeds of Snowball and large 

 Algiers in the open ground on June 20 and July 11, 

 transplanting as already described. The latter 

 variety is the largest and best variety grown but 

 is good only for late crop. Cauliflower takes from 

 twelve to fifteen weeks to mature.

 lime. 



Cabbage can be kept through winter by digging 

 a trench about six inches deep, setting the heads
