CATALOGUE FOR THE SOUTH 



July is time enough. For a succe^ —l 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 Summer, the latter kind not till 

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

 which we generally have bf^t^^ een December and January. After the middle of January 

 setting out can be commenced. These early varieties of Cabbage require special fertil- 

 izing CO have them large. Early varieties are sown during the Winter and early Spring. 

 Cabbage is a very important crop, and one of the best paying for the market gardener. 

 It requires more work and attention than most people are willing to give to raise 

 Cabbage plants during the months of July and August. We have found, by careful 

 observation, that plants raised in August are the surest to head here. The most suc- 

 cessful gardeners sow the seeds thinly :n seed beds, and water several times during 

 the day; in fact the seed is never allowed to get dry from the sowing of the seed 

 till large enough to transplant. There is no danger in doing this of scalding the plants, 

 as many would suppose- but, on the contrary, the plants thrive well, and so treated 

 will be less liable to be attacked by cabbage flies, as they are too often disturbed during 

 the day. Tobacco dust and "Corona Dry" scattered on the plants and in the walks 

 between the beds is a sure preventive against insects. One ounce to 3,000 plants, 5 ounces 

 to the acre. Requires 90 to 120 days to mature.
