Improved American Savoy Cabbage 



CABBAGE. Berza (Sp.) 



Culture. For very early use sow in January or February in hotbeds, and 

 prick out, when the plants are strong enough, into other hotbeds, or sow 

 in hotbeds in March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from 

 killing frosts has passed, in rows 2 feet apart and IJ-a feet from plant to 

 plant. For succession, sow in the open ground the last of March or early in 

 April. The autumn and winter varieties may be sown in April or early in 

 May in shallow drills .3 to 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, making the 

 rows about 2J'2 feet apart, and setting the plants 2 feet apart in the rows. 

 Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug 

 or plowed. One ounce of seed produces about 2,500 plants.
