CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE — For early cauliflower, start in cold frames. For Fall cutting, Green Broccoli and all 
Snowball types should be planted June lst to 20th and transplanted July 15th to August 10th. Late 
cauliflower can be planted the first week in May, transplanted July Ist 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 premature heads.
