 crops they may be sown any time until the middle of June. Sow in rows about fifteen

CAULIFLOWER. 



German, Blumen-Kohl. — French, Choufleur. — Spanish, Coliflor. 



Any soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower, as their requirements are 

 almost similar ; but as the product is more valuable, extra manuring and preparation of 

 the soil will be well repaid. 



The seeds may be sown in September, and wintered over in the same manner as 

 described for early Cabbage. Where this is not practicable, it maybe had nearly as 

 well by sowing the seeds in the liot-bed in January or February, and transplanting the 

 plants at two or three inches apart in boxes, or in the soil of another hot-bed, until 

 such time as they are safe to be planted in the open ground, which, in this latitude, is 

 usually from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened off, they are 

 seldom injured by being planted out too early.
