10 DREER’S RELIABLE SEEDS 
>> CABBAGE<= 
Kopj-Kohl, GER. Chou Pomme ou Gabus, FR. Col 6 Repollo, Sp. 
For very early use sowin January or February in hot-beds; prick out when the plants are strong enough into other 
hot-beds; or sow in cold frames in March, transplant when danger from killing frosts is passed, to the open ground, in 
rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. For a succession sow in the open ground the last of March or early in 
April. Tosecure plants for wintering in cold frames sow the seed in well-prepared, rich ground, from the 10th to the 25th 
of September. When the plants are large enough prick them out of the seed-bed into theframes. It is important that 
the plants should beset down to the first leaf, so thatthe stem isall under ground. Protect during severe weather with 
a covering of glass, and give plenty of air and light during mild days. The plants are usually set out from the middle 
of March to the middle of April, in rows about 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. 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 feet 
apart, 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.
