CAULIFLOWER. 



German, Blumen-Kohl. — French, Chou Fleur. — 

 Spanish, Coiliflor. 



One ounce will sow a bed of 40 square feet, and produce about 1,000 

 plants. 



Cauliflower delights in a rich, moist soil, and in dry 

 seasons should be abundantly watered. Sow the first week 

 in May, and prick out on a rich piece of ground ; transplant 

 in July. For wintering under glass, sow in the second and 

 last week in September ; transplant thickly into a cold pit or 

 ■frame; give plenty of air in mild weather, and cover up well 

 in very severe. Again, sow in February on a hot-bed, and 

 transplant in April. For Cauliflower, the ground should be 

 well prepared by trenching, incorporating at the same time a 

 good share of rotten manure. Select new ground, if possible, 



as Cauliflower rarely succeeds on ground which has been 

 cropped year after year with other kinds of vegetables. Plant 

 in rows, plants 20 inches asunder, and 2 feet between the 

 rows. ^
