Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cauliflower Production in California
Cauli?ower is a crop of economic importance in California. The principal districts center around the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. In the southern part of the State, the counties engaged in cauli?ower production include Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Ventura, and Santa Barbara. Of these, Los Angeles County is by far the heaviest producer. In the north, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Alameda counties are the most important, although Santa Clara, San Benito, and Monterey counties produce rather large amounts. Because of the high price of land near the large centers of population, there has been a tendency during recent years to plant cauli?ower in new districts farther removed. As a consequence, a number of experimental plant ings have been made in different parts of the State, especially along the coast. It is a natural thing to expect considerable shifting in the production centers, therefore, as new and suitable areas are found for growing cauli?ower.
