CABBAGE 



For early cabbage in the North, plants may be started in- 

 doors or under glass as early as March 1st. They should be 

 spaced 3 inches apart each way when pricked out into boxes and 

 should be gradually hardened off by exposure to cooler outdoor 

 conditions. They may be transplanted in the open as soon as 

 the ground can be properly prepared. In sections of the 

 country where winters are not severe, seed may be planted as 

 late as September. Such plantings will produce heads during 

 the winter and early spring. The days indicated are the average 

 number required to produce heads ready for market from the 

 time the young plants are set in the field. No better seed is 

 obtainable than our pure bred strains.
