CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—For early cauliflower, start in cold frames. For Fall cutting, Green Broccoli and all 
Snowball types should be planted June list to 20th and transplanted July 15th to EAtptst 10th. Late 
cauliflower and Winter cauliflower can be planted the first week in May, transplanted July 1st to 
25th. For Winter cauliflower plant the first week in May, transplanting July 20th to August 10th. 
Cauliflower and broccoli do best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold, wet location. Plant 2% to 3 feet 
in rows and 3% feet between rows. Before the heads are large enough to be exposed to the light, tie 
or break the leaves carefully over the head to keep out the light. Great care should be used in growing 
plants of any of the Snowball type that they receive no severe check in their growth, as this will cause 
them to produce premature heads.

for the heads. Selected seed of our own
