CANNELLS’ PERFECTION INTERMEDIATE CARROT. 
CARROT. 
Seed saved from Selected Roots only. 
CULTURE. — The French Scarlet may be sown in frames in December and January ; in 
f'ebrnary succession sowings may lie made on warm borders ; in March, a large sowing may be 
made ; and for general crop sow about the miildle of April, either broadcast on beds or in 
drills. Preference should be given to the drills, as the crop can then more easily be. kept clean. 
As soon as the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 2 or .3 inches apart at the first tiiiniuiig : 
after a few weeks give a final thinning to 6 or 8 inches distance, and the crop allowed to remain 
till it has perfected its growth in autumn. It will be lound an advantage to mix the seed with 
a certain amount of soil so that it can be more evenly distributed.

CAULIFLOWER. 
CULTURE.— Sow euil of January or early iu February in a frame on a slight heat, or in abouse, so that the plants may be forward and hardened ofl 
by April, when a sowing may be made outdoors. From this .sowing he.ads will be produced in July and August. To stand the winter, seeds should be 
sown about the third week iu August. Caniieth' Firai-to-Cut, Early Lnn'inn, ami Early IhrarJ Erfurt are reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well. drained 
spot for tlie seed bed, well work and if at all lieavy add a go id dressing of fine sandy .soil or old potting compost, after wliicli the seed may be sown thinly 
and broailcast, and covered with fine soil. When the see llings 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, andjtlie remainder left in tlieseeil bed where the will 
frequently survive an ordinary winter. Finally, plant out in spring.
