CABBAGE 



Choi' 



Rerza 



For very early use sow in January or February in hotbeds; prick out when plants are strong enough into other hotbeds; or sow in 

 coldframes in March, transplant to tlie open ground when danger from killing frosts is passed, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row. 

 For succession sow in open ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in 

 shallow drills, 3 or 4 inclies apart ; transjilant early in July, in rows 2V1 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, 

 rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as 

 they appear above ground. To preserve the plants, sprinkle them with wood ashes, air-slaked lime, plaster, slug-shot or tobacco dust 

 early in the morning while the plants are wet with dew.
