CUXiT'tTRZ: — The best results are obtained from a 

 well-drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties 

 should be sown about September 15 and in 4 or 5 weeks 

 transplanted to coldframes, from which they are trans- 

 planted to open ground from March 15 to April 15. If 

 this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds In 

 February; making plantings 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 trans- 

 plant In May; these will mature in July and August. 

 The later varieties should be planted in May and trans- 

 planted in July to rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in 

 the rows; these will mature from September to November.
