Cauliflower is sometimes stored by setting in celery pits, the roots 

 being set into the sand the same as is done with celery. Here they will 

 increase somewhat in size, and, as no light is admitted to the pit, will 

 not suffer in appearance. About half the leaves are cut off when 

 cauliflower is stored in this manner. Sold in midwinter or later they 

 often bring very high prices, and this method of storing is usually so 

 profitable that it is surprising that it is not practiced to a greater 

 extent than is the case. 



There is no mystery about the growing of cauliflower, if treated 

 exactl}'' like cabbage, except for the protection bj'^ the leaves, as above 

 indicated, it can be grown in any garden, and forms so attractive and 

 tempting a table vegetable that it should be among those grown by 

 every person having a garden for the furnishing of his own table.
