FIELD OF MANNS' EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE 



CABBAGE 



1 oz. for 2,000 plants; i ± lb. per acre. 



CULTURE: — The best results are obtained from a well-drained' 

 deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about 

 September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes, 

 from which they are transplanted to open ground from March 15 

 to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds 

 in February; making plantings later of course according to variety 

 and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in 

 rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. 



If it is not especially desired to have very early cabbage the 

 eeed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks. 

 For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these 

 will mature in July and August. The later varieties 6hould be 

 planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 3 ft. apart and 

 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to 

 November. 



Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thoroughly 

 Btirred as they advance in growth, drawing a little earth to the 

 plants each time until they begin to head, when they should be 

 thoroughly cultivated and left to mature.
