CRESS (Pepper Grass). 
CULTURE.—Plain and Curled Cress should be sown weekly 
during the whole year, if a regular supply is required, the state of 
the weather reguiating the method of sowing. As a rule, from 
November to March, a gentle hot-bed is the best. Australian Cres> 
sown in the open border during March and April, and in a cool and 
shady place in May, will produce crops in succession : and if sown 
under a north wall in September and October, with a little protection, 
will afford a supply during winter and spring. Water Cress may be 
easily grown in a damp and shady place, and on no account must 
suffer from drought. Sow in March and April.
