Copious water applications during dry weather, especially when 
the plants are heading, and light dressings of nitrate of soda 
and potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2% feet apart each 
way. When the heads are formed and hard, they should be 
blanched by drawing leaves together and tying with rafha or 
strips of cloth. For late Cauliflower to mature during the pickling 
season, start in open ground like late Cabbages, and handle like 
that crop. One ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants.

magnificent head of snowy whiteness. Head is very compact,

the hot sun. A most desirable strain of this fine vegetable

elongated, tightly folded head that is good all the way through. Delicious served as 
salad with French dressing, or like cole slaw, with mayonnaise. The green portion of 
the leaves may also be served like Spinach, while the heavy midribs are very palatable
