Soil should be richly ma- 
nured and deeply dug. Sow 
as early as the ground can be 
worked, or for late crop until 
latter part of July, in drills, 
15 to 18 inches apart, finally 
thinning plants to about three 
to four inches apart in the 
drill. The seed is slow to 
germinate, and if sown early

the gardeners 
of Danvers, Mass. The roots measure 
from one and a half to two inches in diameter at the 
shoulder, by five to six inches in length, and hold their 
thickness well, being gently tapering and abruptly 
pointed at the base. Our strain produces roots uniformly 
smooth and of rich dark orange color; flesh fine grained

The culture of Cauliflower is similar to cab- 
bage. It delights in a rich, moist soil, and in 
cially when heading. Sow seed in hot-bed in 
January or February, and transplant the plants, 
two or three inches apart, in boxes or in open 
ground, which in this latitude is usually done 
from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. Set 
the plants two feet by fifteen inches apart. If 
properly hardened off they are seldom injured 
by planting out too early. When heading, tie 
the outside leaves loosely over the head to pro- 
tect it from the sun.

large heads will be produced early in June, and 
scarcely a single head will fail to form. Its 
compact habit renders it a very profitable vari-

quality. Pkt. 25c..and 50c.; oz. $1.50.
