Sea-kale is very generally cultivated in Europe, and should be better known here. The flavor is somewhat like Asparagus, but thought to be better. The part eaten is the young shoots that appear in the spring, and they are not good until blanched. Sow in the spring, and plant out like Cabbage. During the summer the plant will make a slender growth. The plant being perennial, young shoots appear the second spring, and these are covered with earth to blanch, or with a flower-pot; and if it is desired to force thern, cover the pot and earth around with fresh manure. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; ^^^ lb., $; lb., $ SUNFLOWER. The Sunflower is grown to a considerable extent as a profitable field crop, the leaves being used for forage and the seeds as a food for poultry and the manufacture of oil; it is also grown to a large extent, and with good re- sults, in low swampy lands to absorb miasma. Large Russian. Produces larger heads and more seeds than the common. Per pkt., 5 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; bush., $ TOMATO. To obtain fruit very early, sow in the hot-bed in March. In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to another hot-bed, setting them about 4 or 5 inches apart. Here they should remain, having all the air possible, until about the middle of May, when they may be put out in the ground. If not too early or too cold, a cold frame will answer for the first transplanting. Pinching off a portion of the side branches, and stopping others just beyond where the fruit is formed, hastens the ripening. Goo
