Best of All Cauliflower 
CAULIFLOWER 
Time_to Plant—Sow the seed indoors or in a cold- 
frame about March 15 or in the garden from about 
May 1 to June 15. 
Soil—A deep, rich, well drained soil is the ideal 
type for cauliflower. Wet, sour soils are unsatis- 
factory. 
Seed Sowing—Sow in flats or sheltered seed beds of 
finely pulverized loam. Broadcast the seed thinly 
over the surface and cover lightly (no more than 
14 inch) with finely sifted soil. 
Culture—When the plants are large enough to 
handle thin out or transplant far enough apart sc 
that they may develop properly. The plants may 
be transferred to positions in the garden from about 
May 1 until early July. Set them in rows with about 
18 inches between plants and 2% feet between rows. 
Be sure that Cauliflower is well watered in periods 
of drought. Examine the plants frequently and as 
soon as heads develop to 3 or 4 inches in diameter 
either tie or break the leaves over them to exclude 
all possible light. 
1 ounce of seed should produce about 2000 plants.

CELERY 
For the early crop seed should be sown in a green- 
house during March, in flats. The late or main crop 
should be sown in a coldframe or even in a sheltered 
seed bed out of doors, in late April or during May. 
Broadcast the seed thinly over the surface of the 
soil and cover very lightly (no more than 1/16 inch) 
with finely sifted soil. As soon as the plants are 
large enough to handle thin to an inch or two apart. 
The early plants should be transplanted to perma- 
nent positions in the garden in May and the late 
crop in late June or July. Set the plants about 8 
inches apart in rows and allow at least 21% feet 
between rows. Celery should have a deep, rich
