Spargel Kohl, Ger. Used in the same manner as Cauliflower and the method of culture is the same. It thrives best in rich soil and during cool weather, and is greatly aided in its growth by frequent hoeing and watering. Sow seed in hotbed in January or February and transplant into cold frames, 2 or 3 inches each way. Set out in open ground early in spring, about 1\ feet apart. To obtain the best flavor, Broccoli should be cooked soon after being cut. One ounce will produce about 1500 plants. 180 White Cape. An excellent variety, forming heads of a creamy white color and of good flavor. We have obtained an excellent strain of this, many heads being quite equal to Cauliflower.

Sow about the same time that late trees, like Oaks, unfold their first leaves. Being gross feeders, they should be sown on well enriched land, with the rows 2\ feet apart, placing the beans six inches apart in the row, eye down. The two halves of the Lima Bean seed become its seedling leaves and unless the Beans are placed "eye down" the young plants find it most difficult to push through the soil. In light soil, cover about one inch deep, less on heavier soils. A good fertilizer applied at the rate of 20 pounds to every hundred feet of row, when the plants begin to bloom, will materially in- crease the yields. Hill plants slightly earlier in the season to hold the pods off the ground. One pound will plant 50 feet
