On the Cultivation of Cauliflower Plants. 



281 



heads cut for present use which shew any disposition to decay. 

 When severe frost occurs, the plants are covered with dry 

 short hay. By this management I have been able to send 

 three dishes of Cauliflowers to the table every week during 

 the autumn and winter, till the present time, and shall be 

 able to continue to do so until February. 



I am, Sir, 

 Your most obedient Servant, 



Coivdray Lodge, Sussex, GEORGE CoCKBURN. 



13th January, 1823. 



Note by the Secretary. 



The head of Cauliflower above alluded to, was sent to the 

 house of the Society the day after the Meeting of the 14th 

 of January. It was nearly thirty inches in circumference, 

 very compact, and of good colour. It boiled tender, and 

 was of excellent flavour.
