scribe both in this work. Three ounces of* seed 

 should be sown on each square perch of the pre- 

 pared nursery, well raked in, and then a peck of 

 soot sown over each rod. A cabbage- nursery can- 

 not be too rich, nor too much care taken to have 

 fine strong plants, by afterwards thinning carefully. 

 If this crop is meant to be cultivated ou a large 

 Scale, an' acre of land should be well inclosed for n 

 nursery, kept highly manured, and the seed drilled 

 at nine inches, for the purpose of weeding and 

 hoeing. 



SORT OF CABBAGE. 



The great American cabbage, which thirty years 

 ago was to be had, and which came to 0, 66, and 

 even 80lb. weight, is, I fear, lost at present. The 

 great cattle cabbage, the great Scotch, the Drum- 

 head, the Duich, and other sorts, are not distinct 

 varieties, and little dependence is to be placed on 

 the manner in which orders to seedsmen nrc exe- 

 cuted. A farmer should, at first, get the best stock 

 lie can, and then trust only to the seed he raises 

 himself. At present, I am inclined to believe that 

 the best sort to be procured, is the large red cab- 

 bage. It comes to a good size, and is hardier. than 

 inost others ; green boor cole, brown cole, rape, 

 chou de vache, &c. may now be also sown for 

 transplant at ion.
