Bhimen-Kohl, Ger. Chou-Fleur, Fe. Colifior, Sp. 



Sow for early use about the middle of September or October, in a bed of clean rich earth. Transplant in frames 

 and cover with sashes and shutters during severe weather, giving them light and air every mild day. When this is 

 not practicable, they may be had nearly as well, by sowing the seed in a hot-bed in January or February, and when 

 the plants are large enough transplant .3 inches apart in boxes or in other hot-bed, until time to plant out. If 

 hardened off, they are seldom injured by planting out, as early as the ground can be jiroperly prepared, 2-^ feet apart 

 each way. Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth gradually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather, 

 and especially when they begin to head. The Cauliflower succeeds best when planted in frames at the close of winter, 

 and brought to maturity before the summer heat sets in. The late varieties mature in the autumn, and are sown and 

 managed similarly to winter Cabbage.
