4. White Cape or Cauliflower.— This kind is later than the 
preceding, and when properly cultivated nearly resembles the 
cauliflower. 
Cultivation. — The seeds may he sown at the period of the 
flowering of the common orchard fruit trees, (see table on page 
8,) in a rich soil, in an open exposure. In regions south of St. 
Mary's, in Georgia, they may be sown from October till March. 
Sow broadcast, somewhat thick, and tramp down the earth, if 
dry, and lightly rake over the surface. If the weather con- 
tinue dry, water the beds occasionally until the young plants 
appear. Transplant in moist weather, in rows, two feet apart, 
and twenty inches from plant to plant. If drought follow, 
water them every other day until they revive. In other re- 
spects, cultivate as cabbages. 
The heads should be harvested while they remain close. 
In the North, they may be preserved during the winter in 
cellars, or otherwise, with cabbages.

flowering of the peach-tree (see table on page 8) ; and as 
soon as the plants are of a suitable size, they may be trans- 
planted from eighteen to twenty inches apart, and cultivated 
in other respects as cabbages.
