The common < hite, red, flat, and 

 long-fided Cabbages are chiefly cul- 

 tivated for Winter- uie : the Seeds of 

 thefe Sorts muft be fown in the Mid- 

 dle of March, in Beds of good frefh 

 Earth ; and in April, when the young 

 Plants will have about eight Leaves, 

 they mould be pricked out into lhady 

 Borders, "about three Inches fquare ; 

 that they may acquire Strength, and 

 to prevent their growing long- 

 fhjmk'-d.

About the Middle of May, yoa 

 muft tranfplant them out, where they 

 are to remain for good (which, in the 

 Kitchen -gardens near London, is com- 

 monly between Cauliflowers, Arti- 

 chokes, tffc. at about two Feet and 

 an half Diftance in the Rows) ; but 

 if they are planted for a full Crop 

 in a clear Spot of Ground, the Di- 

 ftance from Row to Row mould be 

 three Feet and an half, and in the 

 Rows two Feet and an half afunder: 

 if the Seafon mould prove dry when 

 they are tranfplanted out, you muft 

 water them every other Evening un- 

 til they have taken frefh Root ; and 

 afterwards, as the Plants advance in 

 Height, you mould draw the Earth 

 about their Stems with an Hoe, 

 which will keep the Earth moiftabout 

 their Roots, and greatly ftrengthen 

 the Plants : you muft alfo obferve to 

 keep them clear from Weeds, which 

 are apt to draw the Plants up tall (if 

 fufFer'd to grow amongft them), and 

 often fpoil them. 



Thefe Cabbages will fome of them 

 be fit for Ufe foon after Michaelmas, 

 and will continue until February, if 

 they are not deftroyed by bad Wea- 

 ther : to prevent which, the Gar- 

 deners near London pull up their Cab- 

 bages in November, and trench their 

 Ground up in Ridges, laying their 

 Cabbages again ft their Ridges as 

 clofe as poilibie on one Side, bury- 

 ing their Stems in the Ground : in 

 this manner they let them remain 

 till after Cbmflwas, when they cut 

 them for the Market ; and although 

 the outer Part of the Cabbage be de- 

 cay 'd fas is often the Cafe in very 

 wet or hard Wintcrs v , yet, if the Cab- 

 bages were large and hard when laid, 

 the Infide will remain found. 



The Ruffian Cabbage was former- 

 ly in greater Efteem than at prefent, 

 it being now only to be found in 

 Gentlemens
