Sow one ounce for 3000 to 4000 plants; 40 ounces for an acre. 
Culture.—For plants of the earliest sorts sow seed in January or February under glass, and prick out in flats or frames about 2 
inches apart each way. Transplant to open ground as soon in spring as the land can be properly prepared, A rich, warm, fibrous 
loam is best. Have the plants in the rows 20) to 24 inches apart, and rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough cultivation, and 
irrigate in dry weather if practicable. Protect against the ravages of cutworm maggot and green worm. A little nitrate of soda 
applied around the plant HM often of great benefit. Potash applications, such as wood ashes or muriate, may also do much good. 
For late Cabbage plants, sow seed in drills in open ground during April and May, and transplant in June and July, giving the 
plants more room than allowed for earliest Cabbages. Dusting with tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soap- 
suds, especially Whale-Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attacking plants of the Cabbage.
