The first column contains the early sorts, which may be raised as 

 follows: Sow the seed in well prepared ground, about the loth of 

 September. When the plants are large enough to transplant, pick 

 them out of the seed bed, into frames. Protect the plants during 

 severe weather, with a covering of boards, observing to give them 

 plenty of air and light during mild weather. They may also bi? raised 

 by sowing the seed very early in the spring, in hot-beds — aftervrards 

 plant out in deep and well-manured ground, in rows twenty-four ins. 

 apart andtwentyinches distant in the rows. 



The autumn and winter sorts, sow in April or early in ilay, in a 

 moderately shaded border, in shallow drills, three or four inches 

 apart. 



Transplant early in July, in rows thirty inches apart, and about two 

 feet apart in the rov.'s. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, 

 well manured and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject 

 to attacks of the cabbage fly, destroying them as fast as they appear 

 above ground. Various remedies are recommended for the preserva- 

 tion of the plants, such as sprinkling them with ashes, air-slack lime, 

 plaster, or tobacco, which should be performed early in the morning. 

 A solution of whale-oil soap is also recommended.

Sow for early about the middle of September, in a bed of clean rich 

 earth. In about four or five weeks afterwards the plant should be 

 pricked out into another bed. at the distance of four inches from each 

 other every way : these should be encompassed with garden frames, 

 covered with glass sashes, and boards or shutters. The beds must be 

 Eo secured, and ihe tops of the beds so covered as to keep out all frost, 

 giving them light and air every mild day throughout the winter. 



Transplant in April into. a bed of the richest earth, Tn the garden, 

 at a distance of two feet and a half each way. Keep them well hoed 

 and bring the earth gradually "'^ ' ' their stems. The late variety 

 matures in the autumn, and i- so ^ «iia. ^vau^^^v' similarly to Cape 

 Broccoli, but are not so certain to succeed in this climate.
