CRESS. 
PEPPER GRASS. 
(Lepidium sativuni.) Ceuciferas. 
CULTURE . — Plain and Curled Cress should be sown weekly during 
the whole year, if a regular supply is required, the state of the weather 
regulating the method of sowing. As a rule, from November to March, a 
gentle hot-bod is the best. Australian Cress sown in the open border during 
March and Aprii, and in a cool and shady place in May, will produce crops 
in succession ; and if sown under a north wall in September and October, 
with a little protection, will afford a supply during Winter and Spring. 
Water Cress may be easily grown in a damp and shady place, and on no 
account must suffer from drought. Sow in March and April.
