Best of All Cauliflower 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower should be started inside and trans- 
planted to the garden the same as cabbage. When 
the head is the size of an egg, the leaves should be 
tied together or bent to form a cover. To winter 
under glass, sow in September and transplant into 
a cold pit or frame, giving plenty of air in mild 
weather and covering up when weather conditions 
are severe. Days to maturity are determined from 
time seedlings are set out. 
351 BEST OF ALL. »% Plants are of 
medium height with waved and crumpled 
leaves bending outward. Inner leaves 
cover the head efficiently. Heads have

maturity evenly and requires prompt 
handling. 55 days.
