BRECK’S WHITE BOUQUET CAULIFLOWER. 
Cauliflower. 
German, Blumenkohl. — French, Chou-fleur. — Spanish, Coliflor. (Price on Cauliflower Plants, see Vegetable Plants.) 
Cauliflower is the most delicate and delicious of the Cabbage family. For the production of the cauliflower a 
rich, deep loam is required, a low moist situation being preferable. A liberal supply of water when possible pro¬ 
duces very marked results. Seed of the very early variety should be sown in a hot-bed in February or March and 
set out by the end of April. For later supply, sow seed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, 
transplant, making the rows about feet apart, and 18 inches between the plants. Transplanting should be done 
in damp weather. To destroy the cauliflower-maggot, try one ounce of sulphuret of potassium dissolved in one 
gallon of water. Heat the liquid to about ioo degrees, and apply a tablespoonful to the stalk of the plant just 
above the ground. One ounce of seed produces about 2^00 plants.
