CABBAGE. (Kopfkohi.) 



Culture. For very early 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 and 

 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 maybe 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 oioice of seed produces about thirty-Jive hundred plants.
