Cauliflower and Healthful Vegetables 
Cauliflower 
For many years cauliflower has been considered one of the 
most delicious vegetables, but until lately it was thought to 
be hard to grow. However, it is now known that the same 
methods that produce good cabbage will grow good cauli¬ 
flower. The only great difference in culture is that cauli¬ 
flower heads must be protected from sunlight so as to make 
sure of the desirable white curd. This is most easily accom¬ 
plished by gathering the tops of the leaves together loosely 
as soon as the heads begin to form. In shutting off the light, 
it is important not to cramp the heads. 
SUPER SNOWBALL

of the Pennsylvania State College it appeared as the best of 
all strains. It is early, heads forming all at one time, uni¬ 
formity of size, shape and type. Round, pure white heads.
