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 he forwarded and hardened off by April, when a sowing may be made outdoors. 
From this sowing heads will be produced in Jnly and August. To stand the Winter, seeds should be , 
sown about the third week in August. CanneUs^ First-to-Cut , Earlf^ I^ondon^ and Rarly Dwarf hrjurt are reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well-drained spot 
for the 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 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 iu 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.
