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 feetapart. 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 is 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 soapsuds, 
especially Whale-Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attacking plants of the Cabbage. 
Early Summer, A reliable second early Cabbage, 
which matures about ten days after the Jersey 
Wakefield. It makes a large, solid, flattish head, 
with short outer leaves, which admit of close plant- 
ing in the field, and is a good keeper. This variety, 
maturing so soon after the pointed head sorts, is ex- 
tremely valuable for growing as a second crop, 
and as it is suited to all sections it is very largely 
grown. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; $ lb., $1.25.
