A I 11 I PI HWFR _ The Cultivation of Cauliflower .— 
tali For t ^ e ear K es t Cauliflower sow 
the seed in hotbeds or greenhouse during February or March 
and transplant to flats or cold frames 2 or 3 in. apart each way. 
Set in the open ground as early in the spring as the ground 
can be proj>erly worked. Plants should be 2§ ft. apart each way. 
The soil should be warm, very rich, and fibrous, with an abund¬ 
ance of humus and moisture. A copious supply of water during 
the dry spells, especially during the heading period, will help. 
For late Cauliflower start plants in the open ground and treat as 
late Cabbage. When the heads have formed they should be 
blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying. 1 oz. of 
Cauliflower seed will produce 3,000 plants.
