One ounce will sow one hundred and fifty feet of 
drill; three pounds are required for an acre. The most 
suitable soil is a rich, deep, sandy loam, not too recently 
manured. Sow rather thinly in drills twelve to fifteen 
inches apart, according to the sorts, thinning out to six 
or seven inches between the plants. In field culture the 
rows should be at least two feet apart, so that the crop 
can be worked with the horse cultivator.

Cauliflower 
HALF-LONG DANVERS CARROT. Choufletir. Blumenkohl. Coliflor. 
One ounce will produce three thousand plants. The cultural directions given for cabbage will apply 
to this crop, but the soil should be more heavily manured. Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth 
gradually up to the stems. Water freely in diy weather, and especially when they begin to head. 
Never allow the plants to become crowded in the seed bed; transplant them with great care, as any 
check will injure, if not entirely prevent, the formation of the head.
