CAULIFLOWER

 delicious vegetable; our most e.xperienced cultivators, however, 

 acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist season. Pursue the 

 same general directions as recommended for growing cabbage, wa- 

 tering liberally during dry weather. An occasional application of 

 liquid manure is beneficial.

Dry Weather. This new variety of Cauliflower is specially 

 '- adapted for sections subject to long dry sea- 



sons, as it will grow well and produce the finest heads in spite of the 

 lack of moisture, which is required by other sorts. The heads grow- 

 to a large size, are very solid, pure white and of delicious flavor. It 

 will prove valuable for growing in the southern states, where the 

 climate is hot and long seasons of dry weather are experienced.
