soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower; extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be well repaid. The seeds may be sown in September andthe Dlants wintered over in the same manner as described for early Cabbage. Where this is not practicable it may be had just as well by sowing the seeds in the hot-bedin January or February and transplanting the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of another hot-bed until such time as they are safe to be plauteain the open ground which in this latitude is usually from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened off they are Beldom injured by planting outtoo early. For second early and late crop sow at the same date as given in the directions for Cabbage crop.

HENDERSONS EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER THE EARLIEST. THE SUREST HEADER. THE MOST PROFITABLE. THE BEST SZKRIETY F=OF2 EITHER MHRKET OH F=H2UEII-Y GARDENS. SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER.— It is hardly necessary for us to describe this variety at all, as its name has now become ahousehold word wherever this delicious vegetable is grown. SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER is the standard everywhere forquality with the seedsman, the market gardener, and the amateur. While originally recommended and used as an earlyvariety, it has not only supplanted all other sorts for early spring planting, but it is rapidly driving out the large late sorts forfall use, being much finer in quality, and the only Cauliflower that is absolutely certain to head when the conditions are right,forming a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter. HENDERSONS EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER is superior to all others. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Itsclose-growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be planted
