CAULIFLOWER. 
German, $3lumeu»5tol)(. French, Choufleur. 
This delicious and valuable member of the Cabbage family cannot be too 
highly recommended. Any soil that will grow good cabbage will grow cauliflower, 
as their requirements are very much the same. For early use the seed is sown 
during September, and in the course of four or five weeks the plants are transplanted 
into frames to be kept over winter, or seed may be sown early in spring in a hot¬ 
bed, or in the garden on a finely-raked and well-enriched bed. When plants are of 
sufficient size, transplant to two and one half feet apart each way, and treat as 
cabbage. It is used in various ways, and also makes fine pickles, and should be 
grown in every garden. Pkt.Cta.

CARROT. 
German, 9J!ol)re. French, Carotte. 
The Carrot, like many other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, deeply tilled. 
Seed should be sown early in spring, as soon as the ground is in working condition, 
in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, thinning plants to about three or four 
inches in the row. Keep clean by frequent hoeing and weeding, for if neglected the 
young plants are easily smothered and the crop is lost. The Short Horn may be 
allowed to grow more closely, as the roots are small and short. To preserve roots 
for table use, they should be buried in sand, in thecellar. Three pounds of seed 
is the usual prescribed quantity per acre, and should be sown with a seed drill.
