CULTURE.—The best results are obtained from a well- 
drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be 
sown about September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted 
to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open 
ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the 
seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plant- 
ings later of course according to variety and time crop is 
wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet 
apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. 
If it is not especially desired to have early cabbage the 
seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 
weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant 
in May; these will mature in July and August. The later 
varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July 
to rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these 
will mature from September to November.

*YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—The State of Wis- 
consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture 
have for a number of years been working on the best com- 
mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows 
or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to 
grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing 
seed which is grown under special conditions to make it 
resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher 
than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of 
securing stock which has been reselected for conformity 
to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved 
varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean 
ground.

origin and has proven to be very valuable to the American 
grower. It is nearly as early as Jersey Wakefield. The
