Cultivation. — Cress is one of the most useful salads grown, and it is 
quite easy to keep up a continual supply, as no expensive appliances are 
needed. If a greenhouse is available, fill boxes with good soil to within 
about half inch of the top, pressing the soil firmly, then sow the seeds thiokly 
and evenly but do not cover them with soil. Put the boxes in a dark plaoe 
and give a good watering j in about a fortnight the cress will be ready 
to cut. By repeating this process a succession oan be maintained through- 
out the early Spring. 
During Summer a shady border should be selected, and the soil raked 
CRESS, GROWING IN BOX. fine and pressed firm. Sow the seeds and press down with a board, giving 
good waterings and protection with mats until the seed has germinated, 
To keep up a constant supply a sowing should be made every week. 
American or Land Cress is most useful for mixed salads, and is quite easy to grow ; sow the seeds from March onwards on a north border and 
thin out to allow about four inohes between each plant, using the outside leaves only. 
Water-cress oan be grown in ordinary garden soil provided a shady border is chosen and copious waterings given. The seed should be sown 
in April, and the plants thinned out, leaving about six inohes between each. Keep the plants pinched to prevent them from flowering. In Autumn 
fill pans half full of soil and place some of the plants therein. Put them in a greenhouse and keep thoroughly watered, and a supply of good tender 
Water-cress will be available all the Winter.
