How to Grow CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is best grown as a fall crop in the greater 
part of the United States, although in regions where sum- 
mers are reasonably cool, sowings may be made indoors or 
under glass, 30 to 40 days before it is time to set plants in 
the garden. For a main or fall crop, sow the seed in a spe- 
cially prepared seed bed or coldframe about 4 months be- 
fore your first expected frost. When plants are ready to be 
set in the garden, space them 1% to 2 ft. apart, inrows 244 
to 3ft. apart. A packet of seed will produce about 150 plants; 
1 oz. 4000 plants. Days to maturity given in descriptions 
are from the time the plants are set out in the ara ; 

WINTER CAULIFLOWER 
155 St. Valentine Broccoli 150 days. Large, solid, white
