DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS 



CABBAGE. 



Kopf-Kohl, Ger. Cliou Pomme on Cabits, Fr. Col 6 Rc-pollo, Sp. 



One ounce for a bed of forty feet will produce about 2,000 plants. 



For very early use sow in 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. To secure plants for winter- 

 ing 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 the frames. It is important that the plants should be set down to the first leaf, 

 so that the stem is all 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.
