German, Blumen-Kohl.—French, Choufleur.—Spanish, Coliflor. 1 oz. for 1,000 plants. 
Any soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower; extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be well repaid. The seeds may be sown in September and 
the plants wintered over in the same manner as described for carly Cabbage. Where this is not practicable it may be had just as well by sowing the seeds in the hot-bed 
in January or February, and transplanting the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of another hot-bed until such time as they are safe to be planted 
in the open ground, which in this latitude is usually from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out too 
early. For second early and late crop sow at the same date as given in the directions for Cabbage crop. For further information, if for private use, see our work.
