CAULIFLOWER 
The culture of cauliflower is much the same as that of cabbage. It does not make a good summer crop, however, as it will not head 
up well in hot weather. It is especially popular as a fall and winter crop, and with market gardeners proves a profitable crop, owing 
to the scarcity of good market vegetables when cauliflower is at its best. It is easy to grow in the garden, providing the soil is made rich 
and porous. The young plants should be thinned, since they become very spindling if allowed to grow too thick, bet in ^4-inch rows, 
14 inches apart. 
Algiers. One of the best late 
varieties, forming good, large 
white heads, inclosed in long 
broad leaves, late in the fall.
