CLIBRANS, Seed Merchants and Nurserymen, 
( Brassica oleracea capllata). 
I'he principal sowing should be made about the end of J uly or the beginning 
of August, another about the middle of August, and again in March and April. 
As soon a-s the plants have made four or five leaves tliey should be planted out, 
from 15 to 24 inches apart (according to the kinds grown), on a well-manured 
and deeply trenched piece of ground ; a liberal supply of liquid manure will be 
found beneficial during the growing season. Tliree ounces of Clibrans’ Nitrogen 
Manure and i oz. of Clibrans’ Phosphate Manure to the square yard wilt per- 
fectly answer all the requirements of this crop.
