Cauliflower.

Soil that is fit for growing cabbage i» fit for growing cauliflower, we should say to an inquirer. Cauliflower, however, will repay manuring in any soil. The seed, may be sown in the hot-bed in January or February, and the plants transplanted in boxes or the soil of another hot-bed until it is safe to plant out. Of course it is too late to do that now. As to the merits of cauliflower, which our correspondent asks for, it would not be possible for us to decide that for him. As for ourselves, we think cauliflower very delicious. The seed may be had of any of the seedsmen. Yes, there are several different varieties, some being earlier than others. Send for the catalogue of some prominent seedsman, from which you will learn what the names and characteristics of the different varieties are.
