Va oz. seed for 50-ft. row; 4 ozs. per acre; 1 oz. seed to 4,000 plants. 
Culture This cr °P P re ^ ers a r 'ch l° am even t° heavy adobe but 
v *' u u e will thrive on most California soils. Cauliflower is a rank 
feeder. It does best where the temperature does not get too high, 
therefore the coastal sections are well adapted to this crop. Being a 
rank feeder the judicial use of fertilizer is essential to good, crops. 
Seed of the early varieties is planted from April to July and of the 
late varieties from June to September. Plants are usually ready to 
transplant in four to six weeks. Do not neglect your seed bed as 
neglect here may cause trouble when moved to the field. Always keep 
your seed bed well cultivated and irrigated and if necessary fertilized 
with fish meal. Few other crops respond so promptly and to such ex¬ 
tremes in varying climatic and soil conditions as cauliflower does. 
Plant in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows.
