DANIELS' KING OF THE CAULIFLOWERS. Per packet Is. 6d. and 28. fld. 
Cultivation. — In the Cauliflower we possess at once the tenderest and sweetest delicacy that we can boast of amongst, 
vegetables and one universally appreciated. To grow it well it requires the richest of soils, with no stint of root moisture 
throughout its whole growth. Hence to insure this, deeply worked, heavily manured ground is of the first importance. To keep up 
a successional supply during as much of each year as possible, considerable care and attention is requisite. Advantage must be 
taken of many kinds of frames, handlights, &c., to grow young seedling plants under throughout tho Winter months. A sowing should 
be made in a moderate warmth about February 12th, and as soon as the plants are large enough they should be pricked off in boxes, 
trays, &c., and placed in a cool frame. When the plants are somewhat stronger transplant into frames or under handlights, give air 
during mild weather, and about the middle of May remove the covering entirely. Sowings in tho open air, to produce a crop to succeed 
the above, should bo made about the 10th of April, May, June, and July successively. Transplant on good soil and water constantly, 
draw the soil up to and around them freely. As it is necessary not only to maintain moisture over the roots, but also to ward off the 
somewhat too direct rays of the sun during hot dry weather, when practicable, mulch with some rich moisture-retaining materials. The 
Autumn crop, which consists of Walcheren and Veitch’s Autumn Giant, must be looked through daily, to see if any need gathering, and 
all that are ready should be pulled up and laid in, in a cool situation till wanted. For Spring work the Early Snowball and Daniels' 
Dwarf Mammoth are good, and to sow in Spring for Summer culture Daniels’ King of the Cauliflowers is the best. 
Spring sowings are particularly liable to the depredations of White Fly, which cluster on them or destroy their centres, and so cause what 
is termed “ blindness.” To prevent this, sprinkle the leaves over when damp with soot, or the hearts with tobacco powder. Finally take 
care to use the heads when young, white, and solid ; and to insure the production of such, the fewer sudden changes the plants are subject 
to the better. Irregularities in culture cause them to button or “ bolt,” as they sometimes do at the earliest stage of growth.
