CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower succeeds best on new soil. For early summer use, sow seed 
in hotbed in February and March, and transplant outdoors about April 15. 
For late fall crop, sow outdoors the latter part of May, and transplant 
when plants are large enough to handle. Plants should be set at least 2 feet 
apart in the row. Cultivate frequently, and stimulate occasionally with fer¬ 
tilizer or nitrate of soda. Dust plants frequently with Slug-Shot to kill the 
Cauliflower worms. As soon as the ‘"flower” has attained a diameter of 3 
to 4 inches, tie the outer leaves together over the head in order to protect 
it from the sun, wind and rain; this will keep it snowy white, firm, and 
tender. Heads will not develop well in hot weather.
