. 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 sel- dom injured by planting out as early as the ground can be properly pre- pared, 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 succeed^ best when planted in frames at the close of Winter and brought to matu- rity before the Summer heat sets in. The
