The four Cabbages listed under this heading are highly re- 

 commended where other Cabbages fail to yield satisfactorily,

 pendable sorts.

Cauliflower

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 rafiia 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. 

 260 Early Snowball. A very early variety, producing a 



magnificent head 

 of snowy white- 

 ness. Head is 

 very compact, 

 even, and fine 

 grained, forming 

 very quickly and 

 will keep in con- 

 dition for a long 

 time without 

 showing discolora- 

 tion. The outer 

 leaves are erect, 

 tending to protect 

 the young head 

 from the hot sun. 

 A most desirable 

 strain, succeeding 

 equally well out- 

 doors or in the 

 hotbed. Pkt. 15c;
