CAULIFLOWER. Sow the seed in a hot-bed in January or February, and when the plants are large enough, transplant three inches apart in boxes or in other hot-beds until time to plant out. If hardened off, they are seldom injured by planting out, as early as the ground can be properly prepared, 2J feet apart each way. Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth gradually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather, and especially when they begin to head. The Cauliflower succeeds best when planted in frames at the close of win- ter, and brought to maturity before the summer heat sets in. The late varieties mature in the autumn, and are sown and managed similar to winter cabbage. DREER'S Earliest Snow-Storm. The earliest and best of all for forcing.
