CABBAGE 
The Cultivation of Cabbage . — For plants of the early varieties sow the seed in January or February, under glass, and prick out into flats 
or frames about 2 in. apart each way. Transplant to the open ground as soon in the spring as the land can be properly prepared. The plants 
should be placed from ft. to 2 ft. apart in rows, which should be at least 2 ft. apart. They should be kept well cultivated, and during drought 
should be thoroughly irrigated if this is possible. The plants do best in a rich, warm, fibrous soil. The seed of the late Cabbage should be sown 
in drills in the open ground during April and May and transplanted in June or July, leaving more room between the plants than was allowed for 
the early sorts. 1 oz. of Cabbage seed will produce about 3,000 heads. 4 oz. will plant an acre.

refined quality and delicate flavour; without doubt one of the 
best varieties in cultivation. 112 First Prizes reported and in- 
cluded in 3 Gold Medal Exhibits. 
304 Carters Mammoth Beef heart Cabbage .— The finest 
autumn garden Cabbage grown. It is some years since we intro- 
duced this variety, but each season it becomes more popular, and 
we con fideutiy recommend this highly selected strain as being 
not only the largest, but one with the least tendency to bolt. It 
is much more robust and hardy than many of the small varieties 
now recommended for early summer use. No less than 48 First 
Prizes were reported to us by our customers last season.

Brassicas at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Hall, autumn,

trial at Wisley. The heart is a perfect cone in shape, whilst 
its absolute freedom from coarseness ensures its success for table
