DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS. 



CABBAGE. 



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. 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.
