Never before so much as during last summer was I convinced of the beneficial results of mulching. A number of strong plants of Cauliflowers were turned out in April, and, as many will remember, a time of severe drought set in, and plants of this description received a great check - in fact, made no growth. Anxious to have my Cauliflowers ready for table as early as possible, mulching was resorted to, and the muck-heap was had in requisition; accordingly, 4 or 5 inches of rotten manure was laid about the plants, and liberal supplies of guano-water given at regular intervals. Suffice it to state, the plants soon made vigorous growth, and ultimately produced fine heads of great size and superb quality, even surpassing some that nature had treated more liberally with a supply of moisture at the right moment. - Up North.
