Improved Copenhagen Market Cabbage 



Cabbage 



Kopf Kohl (Ger.) Cavolo (Ital.) 



One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants 



Cabbage requires a fairly rich, well-drained garden soil, a high 

 nitrogenous fertilizer applied as necessary> and good clean culti- 

 vation at all times. For an early crop, sow seeds in late February in 

 greenhouse or hotbed, later transplant to coldframe for hardening, 

 then to the garden in early April. For later crops, sow seeds in April 

 to May, in outdoor seed-beds, and transplant to garden to stand from 

 to 2 feet in rows feet apart.
