As recomended in Cabbage culture, the seed should be sown in February 

 or March in a hot bed, transplanting the plants, when large enough, into another 

 or the same frame, and gradually hardening them oft, preparatory to planting 

 them out as early as the ground "is in a fit condition. Any good garden soil, if 

 thoroughly cultivated and made very rich by manuring, will suit. Careful 

 attention in the matter of watering, destroying insects and thorough cultiva- 

 tion, will be repaid.
