CAULIFLOWER 



(Slumenrofil) 



How to Grow Fine Cauliflower. Culture for Cauliflower and cabbage is essentially 

 the same, but to the former extra care given in applying fertilizers and moisture well 

 repays the gardener. Sow the seeds for early and late crops as directed for cabbage, but 

 do not set the early plants in the open field too soon, for if too much stunted by severe 

 frosts, they begin to form heads before they are strong enough to develop them well. 

 Plants which have not headed before winter sets in may be stored in a cool cellar or cold- 

 frame, and will form heads without further attention. An ounce of seed will produce 

 about 1,500 plants.
