Culture —For earliest Cauliflower, raise plants by sowing in hotbed or greenhouse during January or February, and transplant to flats or cold frames, 2 or 3 inches apart each way. Set in open ground as soon in spring as the land can be put in good order. Soil to be a warm, very rich, fibrous loam, well supplied with humus and moisture. Copious water applications during dry weather, especially when the plants are heading, and light dressings of nitrate of soda and potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2 feet apart each way. When the heads are formed and hard, they should be blanched by drawing leaves together and tying with raftia or strips of cloth. For late Cauliflower to mature during the pickling season, start plants in open ground like late Cabbages, and handle like that crop.. 260 257 Early Snowball Cauliflower Health Value of Fresh Cauliflower Calories per lb. 139 Vitamins A, B, C Proteins 1.8% Carbohydrates 4-7% Fats .5% Calcium .123% Iron .00094% One ounce of seed will pro- duce about 2000 plants Early Snowball. A very early variety, producing a magnificent head of snowy whiteness. Head is very compact, even, and fine grained, forming very quickly and will keep in condition for a long time without showing dis- coloration. The outer leaves are erect, tending to protect the young head from the hot sun. A most desirable strain of this fine vegetable, succeeding equally well either out- doors or in the hotbed.
