I'ranf planting and fon^jing Cahhages. 



Tranfplant cabbage-plants of all kinds, in the places 

 where they are to remain to cabbage. It may be done 

 the beginning, or any time this month; but if the plants 

 are ftrong and in good order, the fooner it is now done 

 the better. Let them be planted in good ground, en- 

 riched with dung, at two feet and a half dillance, for the 

 fugar-loaf, and other forward kinds ; but the large late 

 cabbage-pl-.ints, Ihould be fet a yard afunder every way. 



This dillance is to be undenlood of fuch plants as are 

 to remain to grow to their full fize ; but fuch of the forward 

 kinds as are to be cut while young, may be planted cloferj 

 and eighteen or twenty inches apart will be fufficient.

 iided, and large round cabbage ; and let them be fown 

 in an open fpot of ground, each fort feparate. See the

The plants raifed from this fowing, will, many of them, 

 be well cabbaged in Auguft and September, efpecially 

 the fugar-loaf, Batterfea, and Yorkihire kinds ; but the 

 large forts not till September and Odober, and continue 

 good all the winter. 



Red cabbage-feed ihould alfo be fown about the mid-

 winter and next fpring fervice; they will be fit for uie in 

 September, or about Michaelmas, and continue good till
