Snowdrift has large, firm and very white heads 
CAULIFLOWER 
A compact, smooth head free from riciness is always desirable, and for the best frozen 
pack it is necessary. Care must be taken in handling and processing to avoid wilting. 
Culture: Sow seed in plant bed in drills 9 inches apart in May and transplant to fields in 
latter June or early July in rows 3 to 4 apart with I'^/z to 2 feet between plant in the row. 
Deep rich soil with an abundance of moisture is necessary for good crops. Frequent cultiva¬ 
tion with top dressing of fertilizer insures rapid growth and delicate flavor. For blanching, 
the leaves should be gathered loosely and tied over the top of the head. 4 ounces of seed will 
produce plants sufficient to set an acre.
