Vegetables 



CABBAGE SEED 



(iiopffof>i) 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about February 15 

 will give plants large enough to transplant into hotbeds 

 about March 10. Set them 2 to 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 trans- 

 planting into the open ground, increasing the exposure 

 daily until April 10 to 20, when the final transplanting 

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

 further apart than iK x 2 feet. For late crops sow the 

 seed 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 on the 

 same ground for a number of years on account of the 

 tendency to club-root.
