CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE: Heads grow best in cool weather so 
sowing and transplanting should be timed accord- 
ingly, usually in hotbeds early in the Spring and 
then into open group as soon as frost danger is past. 
It requires six to eight weeks for plants to grow 
big enough to set out in rows 30 inches apart and 
18 inches between plants in the row. Moist, rich, 
heavy soil and frequent cultivation are important. 
When heads are small, tie up the leaves above each 
head. Days to maturity are from date of trans- 
planting. 
VARIETIES:— 
Early Snowball — Standard early dwarf type, re- 
liable, sure heading, vigorous, uniform in producing 
good deep, solid, white heads which are recom- 
mended for home and market garden. Heads weigh 
almost 2 pounds and are 6% inches in diameter. 
Leaves are large and cover heads well. 55 days. 
Snowdrift — Larger and later than Early Snowball, 
with good, uniform heads weighing 2 lbs. and mea- 
suring 7 inches across, deep, solid, and snowy white.

CULTURE: Sow indoors or in hotbeds like cabbage 
and transplant after frost danger in the Spring into
