CAULIFLOWER 
GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY 
Cauliflower, to do well, requires a deep, rich, moist soil. Cultivate and treat 
Same as cabbage. Sow seeds as for cabbage. 
For an early crop start the seed indoors and set in the open about the end 
of April. For a main or fall crop, seed should be sown from June 1 to July 1, 
and the young plants set out during the latter part of July.
