1 » - # 
Culture —Any soil that will grow cabbage will grow cauliflower. Extra manuring and preparation 
of the soil will be well repaid. The seeds may be sown in September and the plants wintered in 
the same manner as described for early cabbage. Where this is not practicable, for early crop, 
sow in hot-bed in .January or February and transplant when freezing weather is past. Set the 
plants in rows and cultivate the same as cabbage. An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 
plants. Cauliflower will not head well in hot, dry weather. Maturity dates are from setting plants.
