As recommended In Cabbage culture, the seed should be sown in Febru- 

 ary or March in a hot-bed, transplanting the plants, when large enough into 

 another or the same frame, and gradually hardening them off, preparatory 

 to planting them out as early as the ground is in a fit condition. Any eood 

 garden soil, if thoroughly cultivated and made very rich by manuring will 

 suit. Careful atteni ion in the matter of watering, destroying insects' and 

 thorough cultivation will be repaid.
