 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 ajjart 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 2} 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, 

 Succession, etc. This planting will provide Cabbage from middle of July until 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 >lug shot, tobacco dust, 

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

Copenhagen Market. Those who desire an extra 

 early, round-headed cabbage make no mistake in

 making large solid heads within 100 days after seeds 

 were sown. The heads have remarkably short stems, 

 are solid and large in size, weighing 10 to 12 pounds, 

 with light green leaves and of good quality. It is the 

 largest of the early round-headed varieties, and its 

 compact habit of growth allows of its being planted 

 close together in the field or garden, a feature which is
