CULTURE OF CABBAGE. 
One oz. will produce about 2500 plants ; quantity to transplant for 1 acre 1-4 lb. 
For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds; put out when the plants are strong enough 
into other hot-beds; or sow in cold frames in March; transplant when danger from killing frosts is passed to 
the open ground, in rows, 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. For a succession sow in the open ground the 
last of March or earlyin April. The autumnand winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in shallow drills, 
3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows, 2} feet apart, and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds 
best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of 
the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. 
To preserve the plant sprinkle 
them with wood-ashes, air-slack lime, plaster, slug-shot or tobacco-dust early in the morning while the plants 
are wet with dew.
