CAULVEL OWE Rois sr sccriena 7 7 (600% 200 
Except where the summers are cool, cauliflower is best 
grown as a fall crop. Sow the seed outdoors in late spring 
and transplant to rich moist soil in early J uly. Space the 
plants 114 to 2 ft. apart in 3 ft. rows. Experienced growers 
get good early crops by starting the plants indoors in 
March, and giving them extra care in the field. Do not 
allow the plants to be checked in growth or they will head 
prematurely. 
On page 74 we offer transplanted greenhouse-grown 
plants, ready between April 25 and May 15.

sized, snow white with a deep tight curd of fine quality. Under normal conditions, 
nearly all heads mature over a short period, several days earlier than Perfected.
