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

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 ba 

 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.
