CABBAGE SEED 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about February 15 will 

 give plants large enough to transplant into hotbeds about March 

 10. Set them 2 or 3 inches apart each way, and as soon as they 

 become well established remove the glass for part of the day, to 

 harden them for final transplanting into the open ground, in- 

 creasing the exposure daily until April 10 or 20, when the final 

 transplanting may be made. Plants for this early crop need not 

 stand further apart than 1V2X2 feet. For late crops, sow seeds 

 in April or May, 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. To 

 insure large, solid heads of Cabbage, the soil must be plowed 

 deep and made very rich. The insects which molest them should 

 be kept in check with remedies which seem most efficacious in 

 the locality. Crops of Cabbage should not be grown for a num- 

 ber of years on the same ground, on account of club-root.
