CABBAGE 
All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- 
fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to get 
better at any price. 
Culture—Early Cabbage Seed should be sown 
in hot-beds during February or March. When 
large enough the plants should be transplanted 
into cold frames, and as early as the ground is in 
fit condition they should be planted in the garden, 
in rows about two feet apart and about 
18 inches in the row. The late varieties 
should be sown about the first of May, and 
set out in the garden in June and July. 
As these grow larger than the early va- 
rieties, they should be planted in rows 
about three feet apart and about two feét 
in the row. During the growing season, 
even in hot-beds various leaf-eating in- 
sects are likely to attack the plants, de- 
stroying many if uninterfered with. They 
may be controlled by applications of a 
weak mixture of arsenate of lead until the 
heads have developed to about two-thirds 
of their normal size, after which a less 
poisonous insecticide should be applied, 
such as Hellebore, Bug-Death or Slug Shot. 
Prompt and continuous application will 
insure a good crop. 1 oz. to 4,000 plants, 4 
oz. of Seed in beds to transplant upon an 
acre.
