CAULuFTOWER

The caulifOwer requires a rich,
moist soil, and thrIves best under ir-
rigation IL will not withstand as
much frost as cabbage. but is very
sensitive to hot weather. To make
a success Of the crop il is best 10
plant it about the time of the last
killing frost in spring, using plants
grown in the hOtbed or window box.
This gives it time 10 mature before
hot weather comes. The rows need
not be more than 1-2 TO three
feet apart for horse cultivation, o."
"A to 80 inches apart for hand WORK.
The plants should be from Il to IS
inches apart in rows. The culture
is the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop, after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads TO exclude the light and
keep the heads white.
This crop is one of the aristocrats
Of the garden. If you succeed in
growing high grade cauliflower you

South American Nation Establishing

tablished another new line Of boats
between BucuOa Aires and BeIem,
Brazil with caliings at Aonteyfdeo,
Rio Grande, Santos, Bahia. Macceio,
Recife PernambncoD and Ceara.
This new service was inauguratnd
by the steamship Rio JaDeiro, which
sailed from this port recently with
pasSengcrg, mail and cargo.
In a short time thereafter other
boats we're placed on this run. II IL
believed that the new enterprise has
been well planned and that its success
liz aagured. The greater part OF the
bhlps which once carried the traffic
between these ports belonged TO En-.
ropcan ompanics and have since the
war been placed on transatlantic
routes
The Lloyd Brazilian company al
ready has established several lines
/ between Buenos Aires. Montevidec
and Chile. This company instead o,
J liquidating its boats at the high price,
brought about y the war, has bought
all the available tonnage in Soutf

enlarging its formerly small fleet.
