R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 



CAULIFLOWER. {Blumen Kohl.) 



The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Brassicas, and succeeds well in any soil where Cabbages will grow. 

 It delights in a rich soil and abundance of water. By sowing the early varieties in a hot-bed in February or March, 

 or later in a cold frame, fine heads can be obtained quite early. 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 two and a half feet apart 

 and eighteen inches between the plants. Transplanting should be done in moist weather. In dry seasons the crop 

 must be watered. The young plants are frequently attacked by a little black beetle; its ravages may be stopped by 

 frequent applications of piaster in the morning while the dew is on. For the cabbage-worm, apply Dalmatian Insect 

 Powder. One ounce of seed produces about three thousand plants.
