/'AMI I FI OWFR Cultural Hints . — For the early Cauli- 
flower sow seed in hotbeds or green- 
houses during February or March and transplant to flats or cold 
frames 2 or 3 in. apart each way. Set in the open ground as early 
in the spring as the ground can be properly worked. Plants 
should be 2* ft. apart each way. The soil should be warm, rich 
and fibrous, with an abundance of humus and moisture. A 
copious supply of water especially during the heading period, 
will help greatly. For late Cauliflower start plants in the open 
ground and treat as late Cabbage. When the heads have formed 
they should be blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying. 
1 oz. of Cauliflower seed will produce 2,500 plants.
