cts. ; oz. 25 cts. ; 3^ lb. 75 cts. Perlecnon Drumhead Savoy. 



CAULIFLOWER. (Blumenkohl.) 



Deep loamy soil, with a substratum that retains moisture during dry weather, is the most suitable for the growth of 

 cauliflower. A high state of fertility is essential to produce the best results. The season and other conditions being 

 favorable, it can, however, be grown on soil not specially adapted for it. Avoid planting on land in which cabbage 

 kale, turnips or any crops of that nature have been grown. For the early crop, sow the seed in hotbeds at the same 

 time as you would sow cabbage. When the young plants are hard enough to handle it is best to transplant them in 

 another bed, which will make them strong and stalky by the time that they should be planted in the open air. It is 

 not advisable to bring them to the open field until the weather is well settled, for if too much stunted by severe 

 frosts they have a strong tendency to form the flower before the plant has attained sufficient strength to develop it, con- 

 sequently it remains small and entirely worthless. For the late crop sow the seed in the open air about the middle of 

 spring and treat as you would cabbage. Such plants as have not headed in the autumn when cold weather sets in 

 can be stored away in a cool cellar or cold frame, and in a few weeks they wi.l form heads without requiring any 

 furth er at tention.
