Cress 
CULTURE—Sow thickly in shallow drills every two or three weeks. It is useful not only 
for salad, but for the breakfast table and for garnishing. Water Cress should be sown in damp 
soil, or if a stream of water can be utilized, it would be much finer. It will also thrive in damp 
hot-beds. Rightly managed, its culture is very profitable. To obtain early salad, it is a good 
plant to sow with Water Cress seel a strip four inches wide on the outer margin of a hot¬ 
bed, inside the frame (where it is always cool). This will be found a satisfactory method of 
obtaining it early.
