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 rafiia or strips of soft cloth. For late Cauliflower, to mature during the piclding season, start plants in open ground like late cabbages, and handle them hke that crop. 261 DREER'S Earliest Snowstorm.

'Tfe best they ever ; 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, and is a sure prizewinner at Fair or Exhibition.
