The cabbage is typical of a group of hardy plants that may be forced indoors 
and transplanted to the garden early in the season. In the South these hardy 
plants grow outdoors all winter. 
the garden in time for them to become established before 
the hot weather of summer arrives. The plants grow 
slowly during the summer, but make rapid growth when 
the cool weather of early autumn approaches. Celery 
and cabbage will stand considerable hot weather if 
abundantly supplied with water. 
In the more southern of the planting zones and in a 
considerable portion of the Pacific coast region, the mild 
winter weather makes it possible to grow cool-season 
vegetables as fall and winter crops. 
The principal vegetables that can be thus grown are: 
cabbages, cauliflowers, lettuce, onions, garlic, leeks, peas, 
radishes, turnips, rutabagas, mustard, spinach, beets, and 
carrots. The perennial onions and asparagus are of 
course grown over winter here quite as in the colder zones.
