CULTURE—For 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 2j feet apart each way. When the heads are formed and hard, they should be blanched by drawing leaves together and tying with raffia or strips of cloth. For late Cauliflower, to mature during the pickling season, start plants in open ground like late cabbages, and handle like that crop. 261 DREER'S Earliest Snowstorm.
