CAULIFLOWER. 
(Brassica oleracea hotrytis Ca.uliflora.) Ckuci1''ek^. 
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 hardene.l 
off bv April, when a sowing may be made outdoors. From this sowing heads will be produced in July and August. To stand the AMuter, seeds should be 
sown about the third week in August. The Jun l,/ London and Burly Dwurf 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 line 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 remainder left in the seed bed, where they will frequently 
survive an ordinary winter. Finally, plant out in Spring.
