CULTURE. For earliest Cauliflower, raise plants by so-n-ing in 

 hotbed or greenhouse during January or February-, and transolant 

 to flats or cold frames, 2 or 3 inches apart each waj-. Set in open 

 ground as soon in spring as the land can be put in good order. Soil

 moisture. Copious water application duringdry weather, especially 

 when the plants are heading, and light dressing of nitrate of soda 

 and potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2/i feet apart each way. 

 For late Cauliflower to mature during the pickling season (August 

 15lh to October 10th) start plants in open ground like late cabbages, 

 and handle them like that crop. After the heads begin to form, 



draw leaves over and pin or tie them together to protect the head

Carrots '^ - - 



One ounce will sow ICO feet or drill: 3 or 4 pounds for an acre. 

 CULTURE. Carrots do best in warm, deep, rather light and fairly fertile soil that is well supplied with humus, or on strong loam, having been in 

 clover and broken the year before. For earliest crop, sow seed of the earl.v, short-rooted sorts in April or May, in drills n foot apart and thin to 2 inches. 

 For main crop, sow in May or June, or for succession e%'en in July, using the long rooted varieties. The rows for these may be 16 to 20 inches apart, and the 

 plants thinned to 2, 3 or even 4 inches. To raise Carrots for stock, the rows ma.v be made wide apart, say 2 to 2/'2 feet, to allow of cultivation by horse 

 power. In sowing Carrot or other small seeds, especially during dry weather, pains should be taken to firm the soil well over the seed, either by means of 

 the feet or with the roller of the garden drill.
