CABBAGE. 



Berza, Sp. 



CULTURE. — For very early use sow in January or February in hotbeds; prick out when plants are strong enough into other 

 hotbeds; or sow in cold frames in March, transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts is passed, in rows 2 feet 

 apart and 18 inches in row. For succession sow in open ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter 

 varieties sow in April or early in May, in shallow drills, 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows 2-J- feet opart and 

 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are 

 subject to attacks of the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. To preserve the plants sprinkle 

 them with wood ashes, air-slacked lime, plaster, slug-shot or tobacco dust early in the morning while the plants are wet with dew.
