CRESS. 
PEPPER CRASS. 
(Lepidium satimim.) CRuciPEBTE. 
CULTURE. Plain and Curled Cress should be sown weekly during 
the whole year, if a regular supply is required, -the state of the weather 
regulating the method of sowing. As a rale, from November to March, a 
gentle hot-bed is the best. Australian Cress sown in the open bordeo- fluiing 
March and April, and in a cool and shady place in May, will preduee crops 
in succession ; and if sown under a north wall in September and >October, 
with a little protection, will afford a supply during Winter and Sjpring. 
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.
