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, trans- 

 planting to another bed or fiat when the second 

 pair of leaves appear; harden the plants off by 

 exposing them more and more as the weather 

 becomes warmer 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 2K to 3 feet apart 

 and space the plants i K to 2 feet in the rows. 

 Cultivate frequently and make several applica- 

 tions 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 3,000 plants
