 CULTURE — One of the few vegetables that American home gardeners may enjoy the year around and here is a program whereby 

 to obtain a well balanced supply of firm heads of high quality. Toward end of February, sow seeds of either Jersey Wakefield, Copenhagen 

 Market, or any other early variety, transplanting the seedlings into flats four inches apart each way as soon as they become large enough 

 to be handled. Harden these by gradually giving them more air each day and set into rows 2j feet apart with the plants about 2 feet 

 apart in the row; cultivate freely and water regularly if the natural rainfall proves deficient. About April 1st or as soon as the soil can be 

 put in good condition outdoors, sow seeds of the same varieties together with some summer sorts like All Seasons, Early Summer, Suc- 

 cession, etc. This planting will pro\'ide Cabbage from middle of July untQ late in the fall. About middle of May, sow seeds of late 

 winter keeping varieties like Danish Ballhead, Dreer's Select Flat Dutch, and others, thinning out the plants to stand 4 inches apart in 

 the row as soon as they are large enough to be handled. By July 1st, set these plants in rows 3 feet apart with the plants 2 feet apart in 

 the row, cultivating and watering regularly. Should the white cabbage bug prove troublesome, sprinkle with slug shot, tobacco dust or 

 Whale Oil Soap solution, in short, any safe remedy not containing arsenic or other poisons.
