Dreer’s Reliable 
Yellows-Resistant Cabbage 
The four Cabbages listed under this heading are highly re-

due to the wilt or yellows. They will produce fine marketable

pendable sorts.

Culture—For earliest Cauliflower, sow in hotbed or green- 
house during January or February, and transplant to flats or cold 
frames, 2 or 3 inches apart each way. Set in open ground as soon 
in spring as the land can be put in good order. Soil to be a warm, 
very rich, fibrous loam, well supplied with humus and moisture. 
Copious water applications during dry weather, especially when 
the plants are heading, and light dressings of nitrate of soda 
and potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2} feet apart each 
way. When the heads are formed and hard, they should be 
blanched by drawing leaves together and tying with raffia or 
strips of cloth. For late Cauliflower to mature during the pickling 
season, start in open ground like late Cabbages, and handle like 
that crop. One ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants.
