 Cauliflower ought to receive a similar treat- 

 ment to Cabbage, except that it requires an ex- 

 tra rich soil, an occasional application of liquid 

 manure and frequent watering, especially when 

 heading. Earl.- sorts in this latitude are mostly 

 sown in January or February In hot-bods, trans- 

 planted once before setting in open ground, and 

 finally transplanted before the middle of April 

 in rich, deeply worked soil, 2 feet by 15 Inches 

 apart. Late sorts are sown and cultivated like 

 late cabbage. When heading tie the top leaves 

 together to protect from exposure to the sun.
