Our colfection embraces the best and finest varieties for early fall and winter 
use. This valuable vegetable requires a deep, rich, mellow soil, in order to obtain 
fine solid heads. For early use the plants should 
be started in a hot-bed or cold-frame; for very 
early use the seed should be sown in September 
in a cold frame, and protected through the win¬ 
ter by covering the frames; give plenty of air, 
and plant out as early in spring as possible. For 
fall and winter use, the seed should be sown 
early in spring, on a finely-raked and well-en¬ 
riched seed bed. AV hen the plants are of sufficient 
size transplant early varieties from one and one- 
half to two feet apart each way, and the later 
sorts from two and one-half to three feet apart, 
distance varying according to size and variety : 
hoe often. The main crop may be kept out of 
doors, set closely in a trench, with heads down, 
covered with straw and banked up with fine earth.
