in California. February and March are 
the two best months for sowing for the 
main spring crop, and August and Sep- 
tember for sowing for the main fall and 
winter crop. For a successive or contin- 
uous crop seed can be sown from February 
to November. Drill in rows 18 inches

age 2 inches in diameter.

CULTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR 
CAULIFLOWER 
The same cultural methods that produce 
good cabbage will do likewise for Cauli- 
flower. Being a heavy feeder, Cauliflower 
requires a little more fertile soil, and, too, 
the heads should be protected from the 
sunlight by gathering the tops of the 
leaves together loosely in order to produce 
the pure white curd-like head. Seed sown 
in June, July and August and transplanted 
to the field will mature heads in October, 
November and December.

BROCCOLI 
Cauliflower Type 
Heading or Cauliflower broccoli is handled 
the same as cauliflower and has a head 
similar to it. It has a longer growing 
period than cauliflower, and the foliage 
growth is heavy, not being necessary to 
tie the leaves over the head for blanching.
