B. & J. FARQOHAR & CO., lOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



CAULIFLOWER 



Blumen Kohl, (Gee.) 



Coliflor, (Sp.) 



Cauliflower succeeds well in any 

 soil where Cabbages will grow. It 

 delights in a rich soil and abundance 

 of water. By sowing the early va- 

 rieties in a hot-bed in February or 

 March, fine heads can be obtained 

 in May or Jxme. For a later supply 

 sow seed in a prepared bed in May, 

 choosing a cool, moist place. When 

 large enough, transplant, making 

 the rows about 2^ feet apart and 18 

 inches between the plants. Trans- 

 planting should be done in moist 

 weather. One ounce of seed pro- 

 duces about 3,000 plants.

 Culture. Sow on rich soil during May or June in rows 15 inches apart, and thin to 9 inches in 

 the rows. In late autumn lift the roots and trim off the leaves about i inch from the
