CAULIFLOWER} 
Blumen Kohl, (GER.) 
Coliflor, (Sp.) 
Cauliflower succeeds well in any |# 
soil where Cabbages will grow. It 
delights in a rich soil and abundance | 
of water. By sowing the early va- 
rieties in a hot-bed in February or 
March, fine heads can be obtained 
in May or June. Fora later supply |f 
sow seed in a prepared bed in May, 
choosing a cool, moist place. When 
large enough, transplant, making 
the rows about 24 feet apart and 18 
inches between the plants. Trans- 
planting should be done in moist | 
weather. One ounce of seed pro= 
duces about 3,000 plants.
