THE early sorts of spring Cabbage may be raised in vari- 

 ous ways. Some sow the seed between the tenth and twenty- 

 fourth of September, pricked out and managed the same as 

 Cauliflower plants, only that they are more hardy, and may 

 sometimes be kept through the winter, without sashes. 



Some prefer sowing the seed in a cold-bed, covered by a 

 garden frame with sashes. If this frame be placed on a 

 warm border, and kept free from frost, and the seed of the 

 early kinds sown the latter end of January, or early in Feb- 

 ruary, these plants will be better than those raised in the 

 fall ; as they will not be so liable to run to seed, and they 

 will be more hardy, and full as early as those raised in hot- 

 beds in the spring. 



Or, if a heap of fresh horse manure be deposited on the 

 ground intended for the raising of early plants before the 

 frost sets in, the same may be removed some mild day in 

 January or February, and temporary frames made by driving 

 stakes in the ground, and nailing planks or slabs thereto. 

 The ground being then dug, the seed sown, and covered up 

 with sashes, will soon produce plants in perfection. The 

 frames should be well protected, by placing the manure 

 around them, and covering the tops with mats, boards, &c., 

 as directed for hot-beds in the Calendar for February and 

 March.
