VEGETABLE SEEDS 

Early Snowball 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 
andle thin out or transplant far enough apart so 
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 21% 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.
