Onions must be taken up in fine weather, and spread on a floor or flue in an airy situation 
dry. 
Cauliflower plants from seed sown last month will some of them be ready to prick out for 
sheltering through the winter, choose some rich light mould for the purpose, if a score or two 
were potted singly in 60-sized pots, and sheltered in the same frame through the winter; they 
will come in about a fortnight earlier than the usnal time.
