CABBAGE 



Two complete trials are made of our cabbage stocks at our Oakview Experimental Gardens 

 each year. In the spring trial, the young plants are set out early in May. In the second or late trial, 

 the plants are set in the field early in July. From the time seed is sown until the plants are ready 

 for the field 30 to 35 days are required. The early varieties in the spring trial are ready for market 

 early in July. We have indicated the average number of days required to produce heads fully fit for 

 market from the date the young plants are set in the field. Very often the number of days required 

 in the later trial, providing there is ample moisture, is less than in the early trial.
