CAULIFLOWER One ounce of seed will produce about 2500 plants Coliflor, Sp. CULTURE âFor earliest Cauliflower, raise plants by sowing in hotbed or greenhouse during January or February, and transplant to flats or cold frames, 2 or 3 inches apart each way. Set in open ground as soon in spring as the land can be put in good order. Soil to be a warm, very rich, fibrous loam, well supplied with humus and moisture. Copious water applications during dry weather, especially when the plants are heading, and light dressings of nitrate of soda and potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2\ feet apart each way. When heads are formed and are hard, they should be blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying with raffia or strips of soft cloth. For late Cauliflower, to mature during the pickling season, start plants in open ground like late cabbages, and handle them like that crop. DREER'S Earliest Snowstorm. We have given this variety much care and attention, and the uniformly good results re- ceived by growers using our 'Snowstorm' convince us that we have the very best and earliest strain of Cauliflower, both for forcing and for growing in the open ground. It has been used by our customers in all sections; and the report is alike from each: 'The best they ever f^rew.' It is a dwarf variety, with short outer leaves and can be planted close, 2 feet apart each way. It always makes a fine, large and exceedingly beautiful snowy white head, much earlier than any other variety. Pkt., 25 cts.; \ oz., $ Dry-weather Cauliflower or Danish Giant. ties, page 4.)
