CULTURE. — Early sowings may be made in February, under glass, followed by sowings in the open ground, middle of April and second week 
in May, for snccessional crops. AVhen the jdants are large enough, prick out into a bed (J inches apart, and after they have acquired strength, 
transplant to a piece of ground that has been previously well dug and manured, in rows ft. apart and 2 ft. ilistant from each other. As the plants 
advance in growth draw the soil around the stems, and give liquid manure occasionally, we stro.igly recommend a sprinkling of nitrate of soda, and 
which will be found to work wonders, ft is advisable to cut the heads as soon as they attain medium sire.
