CULTURE.—Sow the seed ina hot-bed in January or Feb- 
ruary, and when the plants are large enough transplant three 
inches apart in boxes or in other hot-beds until time to plant 
out. If hardened off they are seldom injured by planting. out as 
early as the ground can be properly prepared, 23 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 similar to winter cab- 
bage.
