Cauliflower 
CULTURE A most delicious vegetable which well repays generous treat¬ 
ment in cultivation. With a deep rich soil and an abundance of moisture, 
which in dry seasons must be applied artificially, cauliflower can be grown 
well. The cultivation is similar to that of cabbage. For early fall crops sow 
in May and transplant in June, in rows 3 feet apart, setting the plants 2 feet 
apart in the row. It facilitates blanching if the leaves are gathered loosely 
together and tied over the top of the head to protect from the sun. Cut when 
heads have attained suitable size for use. 
1 ounce will sow a bed of Ifi sq ft., and produce about 3,000 plants. 
DRY WEATHER, or DANISH GIANT (67 days)—One of the very best 
varieties; especially adapted for growing in dry locations. 
EARLY FAVORITE (60 days)—One of the best early, large growing kinds; 
forms a large head which is solid, crisp and under unfavorable conditions 
will form heads more frequently than any other variety. 
EARLY SNOWBALL, HENDERSON’S (54 days)—Undoubtedly the finest 
and most popular early variety. Heads very early, of medium size, firm, 
compact, solid and very white; plant compact in growth with few short, 
upright leaves. (Illustrated above.)
