CAULIFLOWER 



(ELUMENKOHI.) 



Cauliflower is. in our opinion, the finest 

 flavored of all the cabbage family and may 

 easily be grown in the small garden, provid- 

 ing the soil is moderately rich. 



Best heads are grown in rich, moist soil 

 and in cool weather, so it is usually grown 

 as an early Spring or Fall crop. Culture is 

 the same as for cabbage.
