HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
CAULIFLOWER— FEEDING AND WATERING THE 
CROP 
r F'HERE are two prime requisites to growing cauli- 
flower successfully, namely, an abundance of easily 
available plant food and a constant water supply. Given 
these, this vegetable may be grown anywhere excepting 
in those sections that know no cool seasons or where 
water cannot be supplied. 
Besides enriching the soil liberally prior to setting out 
the plants, repeated watering with liquid manure will 
greatly benefit the crop. In sections where an abundance 
of rainfall is apt to cause heavy clay or loaming soils to 
be sour, the liberal use of lime will greatly benefit soil. 
While well-rotted manure, used in liberal quantities, 
will be found most useful, one hundred pounds of a com- 
plete commercial fertilizer to every piece of ground size 
30 x 60 feet will prove a wonderful stimulus to the crop. 
It should be applied in instalments, using one-fourth when 
preparing the soil and giving three applications of twenty- 
five pounds each at intervals throughout the season.
