closely related, and — like the Artichoke — it is a perennial. Grown 
for its leaf stalks, which — when blanched — are used in salads or 
cooked and served like asparagus. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Culture. For very early Cauliflower sow in hotbed in January or 
I'elu'uary; transplant to flats or cold frames and set out as soon as 
the ground is warm, in the spring, setting 2 to feet apart each way. 
One ounce grows 2,500 plants and four to six ounces plant an acre. Cauli¬ 
flower cannot be expected to mature satisfactorily in hot, dry weather 
so must have plenty of water especially when the plants are heading. When 
the head appear.?, tie the outer leaves over the head or pin these leaves 
with wood pins or beef skewers so the leaves will shade and blanch the 
head and then cut the head before it starts to branch. Remember that 
all the enemies of cabbage emphatically attack. Cauliflower and are to be 
combated in a like manner. For early fall and late' Cauliflower, plant in 
open ground in April, transplanting in June, giving same cultivation you 
would Cabbage. The number of days given is the time required from 
setting plants to mature heads.

pact, solid, pure white, and of finest quality; a dependable header. Well 
adapted to shipping.

ing in dry sections where nearly all other varieties fail to make good 
heads, but does equally well in all weather.
