CAULIFLOWER 
14 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
The same methods that produce good cabbage will grow good 
cauliflower, The only great difference is that cauliflower heads 
must be protected from sunlight so as to make sure of the 
desirable white curd. Gather the tops of the leaves together 
loosely as soon as the heads begin to form. In shutting off 
the light, it is important not to cramp the heads. Pkt. 25c.

set 6 inches deep. Later, soil may be banked against rows for 
blanching, even so-called self-blanching varieties need the 
cool, moist soil to render the stalks crisp and tender, but this 
should not be done until a few weeks before harvesting. One 
ounce of seed will produce five thousand plants. Pkt. 10e.

thick roots by November. To force for use, dig roots in fall, 
trimming off leaves an inch above the crown. Trench in a
