HOW TO GROW CAULIFLOWER

@ Very few crops yield as good returns as Cauliflower when properly 
grown. The main requisites for success are more or less flat, very rich, 
medium to heavy soil; abundant moisture; cool weather during heading 
season; freedom from worms and other pests that eat the leaves so they 
cannot be tied over the curd properly, protecting it from the sun; and, 
above all, good seed. 
Cauliflower requires more care in growing than most crops. It is there- 
fore advisable to go slow at first until experienced in growing. As the 
heads form best in cool weather, the seed should be sown very early in 
the spring and transplanted to open ground when danger of hard freezing 
is over. Six to eight weeks from seed is the best age for this. Rows 
may be two and one-half to three and one-half feet apart and plants 18 
inches to 3 feet in the row, depending on the variety. Here at Rocky 
Ford seed is sown in seed beds about April 15th and transplanted during 
June. -This allows the heads to form during the cool fall months. Irri- 
gate often and force the growth of large leaves-to protect the heads from 
the sun; do not oversoak and kill the ground. . Dust often and thor- 
oughly. We believe this is where most growers fail. Worms and aphis 
must not be allowed to destroy the leaves and the marketing of filth- 
covered heads is unprofitable, to say the least. 
We recommend Rotenone No. 1 Dust for destroying aphis and worms. 
When the heads are about 2 inches across (in most cases) tie up the 
leaves, using different colored strings each day. This will aid in cutting. 
Cauliflower should be packed tightly in the crates; too loose packing will 
result in damaged heads during shipping. Crates are loaded upside down 
so that the Caulifiower will shed water from the melting ice, as top icing 
is necessary in shipping.
