The same methods that produce good Cabbage will grow 
good Cauliflower. The only great difference is that Cauli¬ 
flower heads must be protected from sunlight so as to make

ting off the light, it is important not to cramp the heads.

set 6 inches deep. Later, soil may be banked against rows for 
blanching, even so-called self-blanching varieties needing the
