I oz. will produce 1,000 plants. 
The Cauliflower is but little grown excejit by 
professional gardeners. It is certain that any one 
toUow in the directions given below may be reason- 
ably certain of success in the culture of this delicious 
vegetable. 
CULTURE. — For spring and summer sow in late 
February, March or earl3' April, in hotbeds, trans- 
planting to cold frame when of a sufficient size, then 
to the open ground when frost is over, though a 
light frost will not hurt them. The soil should be 
richer than for Cabbage. Persian insect powder 
will keep free from worms. Sow and treat as for 
cabbage. By giving a liberal supply of water and 
planting to mature in early summer or late fall, the 
heads wilt be much improved. It is also well to cov- 
er the heads with the leaves to insure their whitness.
