a dry spell sets tn. non i nesitats
to atc-r the cauliflowers.
It is an excellent plan to gie
them some high-grade commer
cial fertilizer along toward the
middle of their career, hoeing it
into the soil. Some of the so
called "balanced" fertilizers are
generally used. Market garden
ers who specialize in cauliflowers
sometimes put on as much as
1500 pounds per acre.
The flower or "curd." as it is
generally known among profes
sional gardeners, appears early in
the life of the cauliflower, a lit
tle white knob down in the cen
ter of the rosette of lea vs. This
is the time to put in your best
licks. Encourage that little
white knob with frequent culti
vations, keeping the soil stirred.
When it Is about two inches
rcross. it is tiro to start earing
for its complexion, seeing that
it doesn't tan and comes to a
snowy maturity.
The best plan is to tie the tips
of th leaves so that the "curd"
is fairly well enclosed, pulling the
loaves up in a bunch, but not too
tightly to hamper the growth of
the "flower," or exclude all air.
This is not necessary and it is
too tedious a process if you are
rrowing any considerable num
ber. '
A quicker method, and one
which serves the purpose vsry
well, is merely to bend the big
leaves inward so that the thick
midrib cracks and leaves the
leaves lying over the center.
Both these operations protect
the "flower' from insects. The
cauliflower should be picked
when it is Just right. Left too
long, the "curds" start to separ
ate and string out and it loses
its table quality. Examine the
heads every few days after they
have been tied up.

See that the roots
spread out and not bunched in a
lump when transplanting. The
better the spread the sooner It
will take hold. .
Shade for a few days Vfter
transplanting, if possible. ,
Transplant just before a show
er, if possible, but don't wait.'
Either moisten the earth about
the seedling so it can be moved
with a good lump of earth at
tached or allow the soil to be
come partially dry, so the roots
can be taken up complete and
moved. The latter !s advisable
only in the case the toil is light,
and sandy. The first method is
the better.
It is best to transplant in the
cool hours of morning or even
ing, unless a cool day can be se
lected. Water only at night on
hot days. .
Pour water into the hole when
transplanting, rather than on the
surface after the plant is in po
sition. Clipping of a portion o f the
leaves is one of the most neglect
ed features of transplanting and
one of the most essential. It is
impossible to move seedlings
without destroying part of the
root system unless they have been
grown in Individual pots or
boxes so thy can be tnrned out
without disturbance. The leaf
jrrowth and root growth are theo
retically equal in extent, so clip
ping a portion of the leaves equal
izes for the breakage of the roots.
If the tops are left entire, an
extra burden is thrown upon the
broken roots and it takes longer
for the plant to re-establish it
self. The evaporation from the
leaves, if left entire, is greater
than the moisture the roots can
supply.
There are various devices to
make transplanting "easy, such as
the paper flower pots in various
small sizes, which may be bought
cheaply. Transplanting from seed
vox to another box is easy, as
the plants can be managed as to
conditions of shade and moisture
until established with little trou
ble. Making bottomless boxes of
oiled paper or heavy wrapping
paper about the Individual plants
which may be placed, in the
ground without disturbing th
roots, is an excellent plan. This

Transplanting is one of the fine
arts of the garden, upon which
its success or failure depends. A
little study of the whvs and
wherefores of transplantlne is
well worth while. There are
some few plants which cannot
bear transprantingi but the treat
majority will and are all the bet
ter for it, as a stronger root sys
tem and a sturider growth is the
result.
Here are a few pointers on
transplanting:

It is therefore necessary to have
succession .plantings of sweet
peas to supplement the early
plants, started in the house or in
frames. For the successional
crops planting; outside may be
done now. and as the vines will
encounter warmer weather when
their blooming time arrives, they
should be planted deeply enough
to guarantee the roots' a cool run.
An excellent plan is to plant the !
seed In trenches six inches deep,
covering them about an inch at
the start and filling in the trench
as they grow until it Is level again.
The roots then have a depth
which will protect them from the
scorching sun upon the surface of
the soil. Aiding the depth of
root with cultivation so that there
Is always a mulch of loose earth
and with copious waterinr when
needed will prolong the sweet pea
season materially and also add
to the length of stem. . The sweet
pea s later crops of bloom, arter
its first grand display, incline to
shorter stems and hot weather
produces much the same result,
the beat forcing the plant, into
bloom before a good length of
stem has developed.
Heavy, rich soli, plentifully
provided with humus to retain
moisture, should be used for the
later sowings of sweet peas, as
coolness at the root and a liberal
supply of moisture without stag
nation are essential.

of their characteristic Aaste. A
little sugar makes a new vegeta

little sugar helps the young . car

haven't developed the full sweet

rots and soup seem made tpr each
