CAULIFLOWER (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). 
CULTURE • — Sow end of January or early in February in a frame on a slight heat, or in a 
house, so that the plants may be forwarded and hardened off by April, when a sowing may be made 
outdoors. From this sowing heads will be produced in July and August. To stand the winter, seeds 
should be sown about the third week in August. The Early London and Early Dwarf Erfurt are both 
reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well-drained spot for the seed bed, well work, and if at all heavy, add a 
good dressing of fine sandy soil or old potting compost, after which the seed may be sown thinly and 
broadcast, and covered with fine soil. When the seedlings appear apply an occasional dusting of soot 
■and lime as a preventive against slugs. The strongest plants, when ready, should be dibbled out rather 
thickly in hand-lights and cold frames, and the remaindei left in the seed bed, where they will frequently 
survive an ordinary severe winter. Finally, plant out in spring.
