CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE.—Same as for Cabbage. For Spring crop sow seed in January in hot bed, 
and transplant to cold frame when large enough to handle. As soon as danger of frost 
is past, set out in the open rows 2% feet apart and 1% feet in the row. Plenty of good 
manure should be well incorporated with the soil, and plenty of cultivating and hoeing 
should follow this up: For a fall crop, seeds should be sown in July to November to be 
ready for market before frost: The size and quality of the heads will be greatly im- 
proved if water is frequently supplied during long dry spells. After the heads begin to 
form, the leaves are to be drawn over and tied together to protect it from the sun 
and to keep it white. An ounce of good seed will make about 2000 plants; four ounces 
will plant an acre. Ready for table in 100 days or less. :
