CULTURE.— Sow the latter part of April, May or June, at the rate 
ot 6 lbs. to the acre, in rows 2'A to 3 feet apart and thin to 8 inches 
apart. If the seed is soaked 24 hours before sowing, it germinates 
more quickly, but it should be put in when the ground is moist. The 
crop is harvested before frost and packed away in barns and cellars.

covered with straw or litter to keep from freezing too much. When

CULTURE — For early use, sow in hotbeds in January 
and February. When plants are large enough, trans- 
plant three inches apart in boxes or other hotbeds until 
time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom 
injured by planting out as early as the ground can be 
worked, 2 '/ 2 feet apart each way. When practicable, 
seed may be sown in rich soil from the middle of Sep 
tember to middle of October, and transplanted in frames, 
.protect during severe weather and give light and air 
on mild days. The early varieties should be brought 
to maturity before summer heat sets in. The late sorts 
Vnature in the autumn and are cultivated same as winter 
cabbage.
