Cress. 



Cresson. Berro o Mastnerzo. Kreffc. 



Culture— Sow Nos. 569 and 571 thickly, in shal- 

 low drills, every two or three weeks. No. 569 should 

 be cut often, and it will continue to grow. It is useful 

 not only for salad, but for the breakfast table and for 

 garnishing. Nos. 575 and 578 should be sown in damp 

 soil; or if a stream of water can be utilized, they 

 would be much finer. They will also thrive well in 

 damp hotbeds. Rightly managed, their culture is 

 very profitable. To obtain early salad, it is a good 

 plan to sow with water-cress seed a strip four inches 

 wide on the outer margin of a hotbed, inside the 

 frame (where it is always cool). This will be found 

 a satisfactory method of obtaining it early.
