HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



CABBAGE PROVIDING A CONSTANT SUPPLY 



ABOUT middle of September sow seeds of early kinds 

 outdoors, in rows, quarter inch deep, ten to twelve 

 inches between the rows. When October weather threat- 

 ens their existence, transplant into a cold frame four 

 inches apart each way. Give plenty of air and sunshine 

 throughout the winter and just enough water to keep 

 them in live, dormant condition. Set out at the first 

 sign of spring, these will furnish the first cabbage of the 

 season. 



Early in March sow seeds of early and midseason sorts 

 in boxes in the house or in a hotbed in rows about four 

 inches apart. Transplant about four weeks later in other 

 boxes or cold frame, four inches apart each way, to be 

 set out into the garden by about May ist. 



Finally, sow seeds of late kinds by end of May, into your 

 garden, thin out seedlings to stand four inches apart, and 

 transplant by end of July into thoroughly prepared rows 

 for d late crop.
