R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. 7 
CABBAGE. - (Koffko/2.) 
Culture. For very ea::y use sow in January or February in hot-beds, prick out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds, 
or sow in cold frames in March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts has passed, in rows two feet apart ane 
eighteen inches from plant to plant. For succession, sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April. Plants which have been 
‘sown in the autumn and wintered over in cold frames are usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of April, in rows about two 
feet apart and the plants eighteen inches apart. The autumn and winter varieties may be sown in April or early in May in shallow drills 
three or four inches apart; transplant early in July, making the rows about two-and-a-half feet apart, and setting the plants two feet apart in 
the rows. 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 plants, sprinkle them early in the morning while 
they are wet with dew, with slug-shot or tobacco dust. Dalmatian Insect Powder sprinkled on the plants will keep off the cabbage worms 
One ounce of seed produces about thirty-five hundred plants.
