Growing Cauliflower for Home Garden

by C. H. BREWER, NEW JERSEY

I have tried several of the so-called early varieties, but find that the best strains of selected Urfurt and Snowball give most satisfactory results. Last season from plants set April 18, I cut fine heads In June, some measuring 27 Inches In circumference. The season was not a favorable one, being very dry, and cauliflower, to do best, requires plenty of water. These were grown in a small way for home use. It is not a difficult task to water 60 or 100 plants, if they need it.
