CABBAGE 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about February 15 

 will give plants large enough to transplant into hotbeds 

 about March 10. Set them 2 to 3 inches apart each way, and 

 as soon as they become well established, remove the glass for 

 part of the day, to harden them for final transplanting into 

 the open ground, increasing the exposure daily until April 

 10 to 20, when the final transplanting may be made. Plants 

 for this early crop need not stand farther apart than 1 3^ x 2 

 feet. For late crops, sow the seed in April or May and trans- 

 plant to the open ground when large enough, setting the 

 plants up to the first leaf, and 2x3 feet apart. It is important 

 that the plants should not stand thick in the seed-beds, as 

 this would induce weak, slender plants. To insure large, 

 solid heads of Cabbage, the soil must be plowed deep and 

 made very rich. The insects which molest them should be 

 kept in check with remedies which seem most efficacious in 

 the locality. Crops of Cabbage should not be grown on the 

 same ground for a number of years on account of the tendency 

 to club-root.
