on a dry, sloping situation ; cover at first with a piece of canvas, and as the cold increases this should' 



be replaced by about 6 inches of either salt-hay, straw, sea-weed, 

 or even corn-stalks. Lest this covering be displaced by the wind, 

 \'/jp j% 7 a light layer of earth is necessary. As soon as this surface soil 



becomes frozen, about 6 or 8 inches more of earth should be placed 

 over the entire heap. By following up this gradual process of cov- 

 ering, all danger of heating will be obviated, and the roots wilt 

 keep in perfect order. Sow from 4 to 5 pounds to the acre .

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

 3 or 4 inches apart. Plant out 2 feet apart each way when the plants are [about 4 inches high. Cultivate the 

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



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

 excellent, and deserve much wider culture than is usual in 

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

 give satisfactory results.
