CAULIFLOWER. 
Any soil that will grow early Cabbages will grow Cauliflower, as their requirements are 
almost similar; but as the product is more valuable, extra manuring and preparation of the soil, 
will be well repaid. 
The seeds may be sown in the hot-bed in March or April, and transplanted to open ground 
about the first of May. 
One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants.

CELERY. 
To have Celery early it should be sown in a hotbed, quite early in 
the spring, and when three inches high, plant out in a well prepared 
bed, which must be covered in frosty weather. For the principal 
crop sow early in spring, very shallow in the seed-bed, and when the 
plants are about six inches high, transplant them six inches apart 
into trenches for blanching. Dig the trenches four feet apart, a foot 
wide and ten inches deep. Fill in five or six inches of well rotted 
manure, and mix thoroughly, half a spade deep, with the earth at 
the bottom. The tops of the plants should be shortened before they 
are set. Earth up to blanch, three or four times during their growth, 
taking care that no earth falls in the centre of the plant. 
One ounce of seed produces about 4,000 plants.
