‘CULTURE. — How eiul of Jaiumry or early in February in a lVanie~oii a slight lieat, or in a house, so that the plants may be forward and hardened off 
by April, wlien a sowing may he made outdoors. From this sowing heads will be produeed in July and Aiigmst. To stand tlie winter, seeds' should lie 
sown about tlie third week in August. Oanndh' First -to-Cut, Early London, and Early Do'arf Krfvrt are reliable sort.s. Select a sunny, well-drained 
spot forthe 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 tliinly 
and broadcast, and coVered with fine soil. VVlien the seedlings appear, .apply an occasional dusting of soot and lime as a preventive against sings. Tlie 
strongest plants, when ready, sliould be dibbled out rather thickly in hand-lights and cold frames, and tlie remainder left in the seed Iwd where they will 
frequently survive an ordinary winter. Finally, plant out in spring.
