CABBAGE 
Fr. CHOU 
Sow one ounce for 2000 to 3000 
plants, four ounces for 
one acre 
CULTURE — For plants of the 
earliest sorts sow seed in January 
or February under glass, and prick 
out in flats or frames about 2 inclies 
apart each way. Transplant to 
open ground as soon in spring as the 
land can be properly prepared. A 
rich. warm, fibrous loam is best. 
Have the plants in the rows 20 to 
24 inches apart, and rows at least 
2 feet apart. Give thorough culti- 
vation, and irrigate'in dry wealhtr 
if practicable. Protect against the 
ravages of cutworm, maggot and 
green worm. A little nitrate of 
soda applied around the plant is of 
great benefit. Potash applications, 
such as wood ashes or muriate, 
may also do much good. For late 
Cabbage plants, sow seed in drills 
in open ground during .^pril and 
May. and transplant in June, giv- 
ing the plants more room than 
allowed tor earliest Cabbages. 
Dusting with tobacco dust, insect 
powder, etc.. or splashing with hot 
soapsuds, especially Whale Oil Soap 
solution, are good and safe remedies 
for some of the insect pests attack- 
ing plants of the Cabbage.
