R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



CABBAGE. Berza, (Sr.) 



LUltUPG. 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 hot beds in 

 March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts has passed, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches 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 or 4 inches 

 apart; transplant early in July, making the rows about 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 ploughed. One ounce of seed produces about 2,500 plants.
