What to Grow 



Probably the best early variety is Short 

 Horn, fine-grained and rich in flavor. 



Danver's Orange is the best variety for 

 winter use — sweet, crisp, and tender. 



CAULIFLOWER 



This plant, which is a member of the cabbage 

 family, requires precisely the same care and 

 culture advised for cabbage. 



For early use. Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt is 

 as good a sort as any. 



It is hardly worth while to attempt growing 

 a summer variety, as the plant almost always 

 fails to head well in hot weather, but a late 

 crop can be grown to advantage. If plants 

 have not headed by the time the groimd 

 freezes, take them up with a large quantity of 

 soil adhering to their roots, pack them solidly 

 into boxes, and put them in the cellar or cold- 

 frame if the latter can be kept warm enough 

 to permit growth. Much vrarmth is not needed, 

 but frost should be kept out. The cellar is, all 

 things considered, the safest place for them. 

 Here they will form small heads of delicious 

 tenderness during the winter.
