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 a complete plant food. Few other crops respond so promptly 
and to such extremes to varying climatic and soil conditions as cauli¬ 
flower does. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows.
