Cabbage 
(. Brassica oleracea capitata). 
The principal sowing should be made about the end of July or the beginning of August, another about the middle of August, and 
again in March and April. As soon as the plants have made four or five leaves they should be planted out, from 15 to 24 inches 
apart (according to the kinds grown) on a well-manured and deeply trenched piece of ground; a liberal supply of liquid manure 
will be found beneficial during the growing season. Three ounces of Clibrans' Nitrogen Manure and 1 oz. of Clibrans’ Phos- 
phate Manure to the square yard will perfectly answer all the requirements of this crop.
