Cauliflower Type 
BROCCOLI 
This type of Broccoli has plant character¬ 
istics similar to Cauliflower and produces 
fine large heads that are equal in size and 
quality to the best varieties of Cauliflower 
but requires a longer growing season. Seed 
sown in July produces mature heads the 
following spring from January through 
April, depending on the variety.

with medium green leaves. With a well

The same cultural methods 
that produce good cabbage 
will do likewise for Cauli¬ 
flower. Being a heavy feed¬ 
er, Cauliflower requires a 
little more fertile soil, and, 
too, the heads should be 
protected from he sunlight 
by gathering the tops of 
the leaves together loosely 
in order to produce the 
pure white curd-like head.

and August and transplant¬ 
ed to the field will mature 
heads in October, Novem¬ 
ber and December.
