S. & W. Co.’s Best of All Cauliflower 
CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants. 
From 10 to 14 weeks from seed to harvest. 
Culture. Sow in February or March in a hot¬ 
bed and transplant in April. Have the plants 2}-2 
feet apart. Rich soil is essential. Outdoors sow the 
first week in May and transplant in July. For 
wintering under glass sow in September; transplant 
thickly into a cold pit or frame; give plenty of air 
in mild weather, and cover up well when conditions 
are severe. When the flower is the size of an egg, tie 
the leaves together, or bend them to form a cover. 
S. & W. Co.’s Best of All. The easiest 
grown and surest heading Cauliflower 
offered today. In habit the plant is very 
dwarf, stocky, and erect. Fewer leaves 
enable it to be planted closer than usual. 
In suitable soil, every plant will form a 
large, handsome head of the finest quality.
