CABBAGE. 



CITZiTUBE. — Cabbage requires a strong, good soil and should be heavily fertilized 

 or manured and worked in well before transplanting. The best all around commercial 

 fertilizer for Cabbage should contain available Phosphoric Acid 7%, Potash S Tc and 

 Nitrogen 5%. To raise large Cabbage without good soil and without working the plants 

 well is an impossibility. Cabbage is sown here almost every month of the year, but the 

 seed for the main crop should be sown from July to September. Some sow earlier, but 

 July is time enough. For a succession seed can be sown till November. The main crop 

 for spring should be sown from the end of October to the end of November. The 

 raising of Cabbage for spring has become quite an item of late years. Wakefield 

 varieties should be sown a little earlier than the Early Summ.er, the latter kind not till 

 November, but in a frame, so the young plants can be protected against cold weather.
