46 BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



SELECTED CABBAGE 



Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. 



To grow good Cabbage, a fairly rich soil 

 and plenty of moisture are required. Apply 

 an abundance of manure or other fertilizer 

 high in humus and nitrogen. 



For early crop, start the seed in a hotbed 

 or seed-flat indoors in January or February, 

 transplanting to another bed or flat when 

 the second pair of leaves appear; harden the 

 plants oft and set them out in the garden 

 as soon as frosts are past. For second- 

 early crop, sow in March or April and set 

 out in May; for late crop, sow in May and 

 transplant in July. Set Cabbage in rows 

 2V2 to 3 feet apart and space the plants 

 IV2 to 2 feet in the rows. Cultivate fre- 

 quently and make several applications of 

 nitrate of soda during the growing season. 

 Insecticide soaps and Slug Shot are good 

 remedies for Cabbage pests. 

 One ounce of seed will produce 30O0 plants.
