CAULIFLOWER. - (Blumeh Kohl.) The growing of cauliflower is receiving more attention than formerly; particularly so the earlier varieties. The crops of Snowball and Dwarf Erfurt begin to come forward in June, and these, with the later sorts, are in the market, almost without intermission, until November. Cauliflowers require very high cultivation and plenty of moisture, even more so than cabbage. Whether grown in the kitchen garden or upon a large scale, the crop is a paying one, and there is net a more delicious vegetable grown. The demand is evidently in- creasing. Cold-frame plants are probably the best and hardiest for early crops; the frames, however, need rather more protection during cold nights'than is required for cabbage plants. Seed sown in hot-beds in February will produce plants that are not much, if any, inferior to cold frame plants. They should be transplanted once before setting in the open ground, and also should be gradually hardened by exposure; in this way they will be in condition to set out as early in April as the ground will permit. Set the early sorts about two feet by fifteen inches, and cultivate the same as cabbage. When irrigation is practicable, great advantage is obtained during a drought For late cauliflower, sow seed in open ground, from the middle of May to the middle of June, and transplant the same as cabbage. When plants first appear they are liable to the attacks of a small black fly; guard against this fly by frequent dustings with plaster, which apply in the morning while the dew is on. When the heads are forming, tie the leaves together at the top, thus avoiding discoloration by exposure to the sun. The crop of cauliflow er depends entirely upon the state of the weather during the time of heading. If it is hot and dry, the heads will be inferior
