CAULIFLOWER. 



Chou-Fleur. Coiijior. ^lumenfoM 



Culture. — The same as for Cabbage, except that extra manure and plenty of water will pay 

 flower. If the soil be dry, water frequently, and if 

 the plants could have a heavy mulch of hay or 

 straw, it would keep the soil moist, and the plants 

 would not suffer from drought. The early kinds 

 should be strong enough to plant out not later 

 than the middle of April ; the late kinds may be 

 planted out same time as for Cabbage. To destroy 

 the Cauliflower-maggot, it is recommended to take 

 one ounce of sulphuret of potassium and dissolve 

 it in one gallon of water. Heat the liquid to about 

 100 degrees, take a large spoon, or something that 

 will hold the 100th part of a gallon, and pour the 

 Jiquid against the stalk of the plant just above the 

 ground.
