CULTURE. For spring or early summer crop sow in March or early in April in hotbed and trans- 
plant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the open ground as soon as danger of hard freezing 
is over. The plants will endure a light frost. The soil for cauliflower should be like that for cabbage 
but it is better if made richer than is ordinarily used for that crop. For late crop sow at the same time 
as for late cabbage. Cauliflower heads must be protected from sunlight to obtain the desirable white 
curd. This is accomplished by gathering the tops of the leaves together loosely as soon as the heads 
begin to form. In shutting off the light, it is important not to cramp the heads.
