situation; cover at first with a piece of canvas, and as the cold increases this should be replaced by about six 



inches of either salt hay, straw, sea weed, or even corn stalks. Lest 

 p A this covering be displaced by the wind, a light layer of earth is 



y/^i> J9n necessary. So soon as this surface soil becomes frozen, about six or 



eight inches more of earth should be placed over the entire heap. 

 By following up this gradual process of covering, all danger of heat- 

 ing will be obviated, and the roots will keep in perfect order. Sow 

 from four to five pounds to the acre.

Culture.— Sow early sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, in shallow drills, drawi 

 three or four inches apart. Plant out two feet apart each way when the plants are about four inches high 

 Cultivate the same as Cabbage, in rich soil. Use the same remedies for insect attacks as are 

 for Cabbage. 



The following are sorts best adapted to this climate, and the only ones which succeed generally ; they an 

 excellent, and deserve much wider culture than is usual in 

 this country. We recommend No. 307 as the most certain 

 to give satisfactory results.
