I have found that the wintered-over crop is sufficient and does not;rpi to seed any quicker than the spring:sowed. i " s The last of August or early- Sep tember sow seed of the Big Boston lettuce for setting in the. frames for early winter heading. I use glass sashes on frames six; feet wide, three, sashes on a portable frame, which I can move afterpne'Croj is, cut. to a fresh soil and thus avoid replanting the same land. - : . . - v About the 20th of September is the best time'to sowrseed of the Early Wakefield cabbage to mike .plants for setting in open vember. For family use the Charles ton Wakefield is best, as it is larger: but a little later ; in heading. Cauli flower seed can be sowed at'the same time, using the Snowballs-variety; These are i not' so 'hardy :as the'cab haae. and are better set thickly in 'a frame and protected with cloth in "cold nights. Then set them in the.' garden in late February and they will head before the weather gets too hot. Cauliflowers and cabbage need the heaviest sort of manuring and fertili ation. Their chief needs, are for ni trogen and phosphorus, and potash is pf little importance to them. :' , ' Strawberry plants cm be set at any time from October to December, thev best time being usually during No- ; vember, for the dry weather Js then , apt to be. past and the plants liveWt- -ter than if- set earlier.
