For early cabbage set close together; it will pay to sow 

 the fertilizers broadcast over the whole ground and work 

 them in before setting out the plants. // the land has been 

 heavily manured for a number of years Nitrate of Soda alone 

 may do as much good as the mixture. In this case, the 

 Nitrate may be used after the plants are set out— a tea- 

 spoonful to a plant. 



For late cabbage, set 2^ to 3 feet apart each way. It 

 is a good plan to apply the fertilizers after the plants are 

 set out. To do this, scatter a small handful of the mixture 

 recommended for potatoes near, but not on, each plant. 

 Cultivate this in with a small tooth cultivator. It is best 

 to go twice on each row, dropping the fertilizer on both 

 sides of the plants, using half the quantity on each side.
