EARLY SNOWDRIFT CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—Cauliflower succeeds best 
when planted in hot beds during Jan¬ 
uary or February and brought to matur¬ 
ity before the summer heat sets in. If 
properly hardened off, the plants are 
seldom injured if planted outside as 
early as the ground can be worked. 
Set them out in the richest soil avail¬ 
able. They should stand two and a half 
feet apart each way. Keep them well 
hoed and bring the ground gradually up 
to the stems, watering freely in dry 
weather and protecting them from direct 
sun heat, especially when they begin to 
head. 1 oz. for 2,500 plants. 
Early Snowdrift—A new snow¬ 
ball type which has become a

white curd is closely formed and 
with fine texture, smooth and 
solid. Proved very satisfactory 
for both early and late planting
