grown, obferve the former Directions 

 in pulling them, cifr. but where-ever 

 you meet with an extraordinary good 

 Cauliflower, whofe Curd is hard and 

 white, and perfectly free from any 

 Frothinels about the Edges, you 

 Ihould fafFer it to remain for Seed, 

 keeping the Leaves clofe down upon 

 it until the Flower hath fliot out 

 Stems, and then remove the Leaves 

 from them by degrees ; but do not 

 expofe them too much to the open 

 Air at firll. As the Stems advance, 

 you mud take the Leaves quite 

 away ; and when they begin to 

 branch out, you mould fix three 

 pretty flrong Stakes, at equal An- 

 gles, about it,furrounding them with 

 Packthread, &c. to fupport their 

 Branches, which would be otherwife 

 liable to break with the Wind. 



When your Pods begin firit, to be 

 fornTd, if the Weather be dry, you 

 mould give them a .little Water all 

 over (with a Watering-pot that hath 

 a Role to it) ; which will promote 

 the Progrefs of the Seede, and pre- 

 ferve them from the Mildew, which 

 is often hurtful to thefe Seeds ; and, 

 when your Seed is ripe, you muft 

 cut it off, and hang it up to cry, 

 and rub it out, as was dire&ed for 

 Cabbage-feed : and although your 

 Flowers do not produce lo much 

 Seed as thofe which were of a fofter 

 or frothy Nature ; yet theGoodnefs 

 of fuch Seeds will fufficiently recom- 

 penfe for the Quantity; and any Per- 

 fon who was to purchafe his Seeds, 

 had better give ten Shillings an 

 Ounce for fuch Seeds, than two for 

 the Seeds commonly faved for Sale, 

 as the Gardeners about London have 

 experienced ; who will never buy 

 any Seeds of this Kind, if they do 

 not know how they were faved. 



Eut in order to have a third Crop 

 of Cauliflower?, you Ihould make a 

 flender Hot-bed in February, in which 



B R 



you mould fow the Seeds, covering 

 them a quarter of an Inch thick 

 with light Mould, and the Bed with 

 Glafs-frames : you mould now-aod- 

 then gently refremthe Bed with Wa- 

 ter, obferving to raife the Glaffes 

 with Bricks in the Day time, to let 

 in frefti Air ; and when the Plants 

 are come up, and have gotten four 

 or five Leaves, you mould prepare 

 another Hot-bed to prick them into, 

 at about two Inches fquare ; and in 

 the Beginning of April harden thera 

 by degrees, to fit them for trans- 

 planting, which mould be done the 

 Middle of that Month, at the Di- 

 fiance dire&ed for the fecond Crop, 

 and muft be managed accordingly ; 

 thefe (if the Soil is moifl where they 

 are planted, or the Seafon cool and 

 moiit) will produce good Cauliflow- 

 ers about a Month after the fecor.d, 

 Crop is gone, whereby their Sealba 

 will be greatly prolonged. 



There is alfo a fourth Crop of 

 Cauliflowers, which is railed by low- 

 ing the Seed about the 1 2th of M:iy; 

 and being tranfplanted, as hath been 

 before dire&ed, will produce good 

 Cauliflowers in a kindly Seafon, and 

 good Soil, after Michaelmas, and 

 continue through Ofloher and Ka- 

 <vember, and, if the Seafon permit, 

 often a great Part of December. 



The Reafon why I fix particular 

 Days for the Cowing of this Seed is, 

 becaufe two or three Days often 

 make a great Difference in their 

 Plants ; and becaufe thefe are the 

 Days ufually fixed by the Gardeners 

 near London, who have found their 

 Crops to fucceed belt when fown at 

 thofe times, altho' one Day, more 

 or le|s, wiil make no great Odds.
