CABBAGE. 



Berza, Sp. 



Sow one ounce for 3000 to 4000 plants ; 4 ounces for one 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 cul 

 tivation, 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 ol the insect pests attacking plants of the Cabbage.
