R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 7 



CABBAGE. (Kopfkokl.) 



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 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 theplants will keep off thecabbage worms. One ounceof seed produces about thirty five hundred plants.
