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 estab- 

 lished, 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. For late 

 crops, sow the seed in April or May and transplant to the open ground when large enough, setting the 

 plants up to the first leaf and 2 to 3 feet apart. It is important that the plants should not stand thick in 

 the seed-beds, as this would induce weak, slender plants. The insects which molest them should be kept 

 in check with remedies which seem most efficacious in the locality. There is a tendency to club-root if 

 Cabbage is grown on the same ground year after year.
