Tran/plant Cabbages. 



Early fugar-loaf cabbages, and other cabbage- plants, 

 fliouid be traniplanted this month where they are to remain* 



If your plants are pretty llrong, they may, if mild open 

 weather, be planted out the beginaing of the month ; but 

 if they are weakly, or much cut by the froil:, do not put 

 them out before the end of this month, or beginning or 

 middle of March. 



Choofe a piece of good ground for thefe plants, in aa 

 open fituation, and let fome rotten dung be dug in. Put 

 in the pla-nts in rows, two feet and a half afunder, and al- 

 hovv the fame diilance between the rows, if defigned to 

 rtand to grow to full fize for a main crop : but if intended 

 to cut them up young, in May and June, plant them 

 cnly half a yard, or two feet afunder. 



Son.v Cabbages a7id Savoys. 



Sov/ fome fugar-loaf, and large autumnal cabbage- feed, 

 about the middle or latter end of the month, for aucuma 

 ufe. Thefe will fucceed the early plants, for they will be 

 iit to cat in Augull and September, &c. 



But if the winter has been fevere, and dcilroyed many of 

 the plants which were fown lall Augull, to fcand the winter 

 for an early crop, it will,, in that cafe, be proper to fow 

 fome of the early feed, as foon in the month as the weather 

 will pcrmJt; and, if a few is forwarded by fowing them 

 in a flight h.C(t-bed, it would be a great advantage. 



Sow alfo fome-red cabbages for next winter's fupply. 



Savoy-feed may be fown, for the firft time, about the 

 middle or latter end of this month. 



Thefe which are fown now will be ready in September,, 

 and they will be finely cabbaged by Oftober, and will con- 

 tinue in good perfedlion all November and December, &c. 



Cabbages and favoys for feed may be planted this month* 

 if not done before. Take up the plants in a dry day, 

 clear off all the large leaves, and plant them three feet 

 afunder each way, by the method explained laft month,
