In new ground some Turnips and Buta Bagas can be 

 sown, but it is better to wait until next month, as they 

 are apt to become hard and stringy.

before January, and Cabbage is most easily hurt by frost 

 when heading up. When the plants are small, or half 

 grown, or wken they are headed up, they are not so much 

 affected by cold weather. It is therefore necessary to

make two or three sowings at different times, so that in 

 case some of the Cabbage is destroyed by frost, the other 

 is coming on. As a general rule plants raised from seed 

 sown in July and August give the best results, they are 

 almost sure to head. 



September, in our experience, is the most unfavorable 

 month for sowing Cabbage; as generally plants raised 

 from teed sown in September are ready to head when

frost sets in, and therefore, more liable to be hurt. Still 

 there are some exceptions. Some years ago, the seed 

 sown in September turned out best, because we had no 

 frost until very late in the season.

Brunswick is the earliest of the large growing varieties 

 and should be sown in July and August, so thai it may be 

 headed up when cold weathar sets in. It is more tender 

 than the Flat Dutch and Drumhead. The same maybe 

 said in regard to the St. Denis and Improved Early 

 Summer. 



All Cabbages require a strong, good soil, but the Brun- 

 swick and Flat Dutch in particular. 



The ground should be well fertilized, with either stable 

 manure, cotton seed meal or superphosphate; but we 

 consider Cow Peas planted on the Cabbage land and 

 plowed under the best and cheapest fertilizer.

The standard varieties, Superior Flat Dutch andjlm- 

 proved Drumhead, should be sown at the end of this 

 month and during the next. 



A large quantity of seed must be sown at this time of 

 the year, as it is sometimes very difficult to get a proper 

 stand, and it is always better to have some plants left 

 over than to be short. 



It is a very difficult matter to protect the young Cab- 

 bage plants from the ravages »f the insects, which are, 

 especially after a mild winter, very plentiful. 



strong Tobacco water or Tobacco dust has been found 

 very beneficial; also Tobacco stems, cut fine and scat- 

 tered over the ground, will keep them off to some extent.
