CRESS (Lepidium sativum). 
| 
CULTURE. Plain and Curled Cress should he sown weekly during the whole year, if a regular 
supply is required, the state of the weather regulating the method of sowing. As a rule, from November 
to March, a gentle hotbed is the best. Australian Cress sown in the open border during March and 
April, and in a cool and shady place in May, will produce crops in succession ; and, if sown under a 
north wall in September and October, with a little protection, toil I afford a supply during Winter and 
Spring. Water Cress may be easily grown in a damp and shady place, and on no account must suffer 
from drought. Sow in March and April.
