CAULIFLOWER. 



Chou-Flel'r. Coliflor. Slumenfo^l. 



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 ,' ;\

 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

 i ounce of sulphuret of potassium and dissolve it 

 in i gallon of water. Heat the liquid to about 100 

 degrees, take a large spoon, or something that will 

 hold the iooth part of a gallon, and pour the liquid
