CABBAGE SEED 



Seed sown iu hotbed or greeidiouse abou.' Felii-uai-y 15 will jcive plants 

 large enough to transplant into hotbeds about March 10. Set them 2 or J 

 inches apait each way, and as soon as they become well established remove 

 the glass for part of the day, to harden them for final transi)lanting into the 

 open ground, increasing the exposure daily until April 10 or 20, when the 

 final transplanting may be made. Plants foi- this early crop need not stand 

 further apart than 1 x2 feet. For late crops sow the seed in April or Mav, 

 and transplant to the open ground when large enough, setting the plants up 

 to the first leaf, and 2x3 feet apart. It is important that the plants should 

 not stand thick in the seed-beds, as this would induce weak, slender plants, e 

 To insure large, solid heads of Cabbage, the soil must be plowed deep and f 

 made very rich. The insects which molest them should be kept m checl f " 

 with remedies which seem most efficacious in the locality. Crops ot Cablianc \ 

 should not be grown on the same ground for a number of years on 

 of tendency to club-root.
