HOW TO GROW CAULIFLOWER 
1 OZ. OF SEED TO 3,000 PLANTS 
1 lb. grows plants for seven acres 
@ Very few crops yield as good returns as Cauliflower when prop- 
erly 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, pro- 
tecting it from the sun; and, above all, good seed. 
Cauliflower requires more care in growing than most crops. It 
is therefore’ 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 8 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 thoroughly. We believe this is where most growers fail. 
Worms and aphis must not be allowed to destroy the leaves and 
the eeimtae tc of filth-covered heads is unprofitable, to say the 
least. 
We recommend Rotenone No. 1 Dust for destroying aphis and 
worms. ‘ 
When the heads as 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 Cauliflower. will shed 
water from the melting ice, as top icing is necessary in shipping.
