EVIDENCE 
“Little Queen Cabbage did remarkably well this year. I 
noticed iu several gardens that early Cabbages invariably bolted, but not 
Little Queen.”— Mr. W. SNELL, Chesterfield. 
OF QUALITY. 
I “ I planted out three hundred of your Little Queen Cabbage last 
Autumn, they are the best I have ever grown. I only lost three, and I have 
cut some 7 lbs. iu weight.”— Mr. H. HUMPHREY, Sevenoaks. 
Savoy Cabbage. 
Cultivation. — This, like all of its class, 
delights in deep, rich, moderately consistent 
soil, and it must he the chief object of the grower 
to grow good plants that may become well- 
established, large, and leafy by the Autumn. 
Sow early in March, and again about April 10th, 
and thinly, into a w r ell-enriched and finely-worked 
soil. We are very partial to the Dwarf IJlm, 
Tom Thumb, or Daniels’ Extra Early, as they 
produce such neat firm heads, and may he 
planted moro thickly together than is ordin- 
arily requisite. Transplant the larger kinds out 
permanently in drill rows two feet apart, and 
from eighteen to tw'enty inches apart in the 
rows. The dwarfer kinds may bo planted eighteen 
inches apart in the rows, and fifteen inches asunder 
in the run. To prevent clubbing, deep and 
good culture, and frequent changing of crops is 
beneficial, often besides it proves a powerful 
preventive to dip the roots of all young plants 
into a lye formed of cow-dung, wood ashes, &c., 
just before planting them out into the permanent 
Winter quarters. If a sprinkling of lime or soot 
he thrown amongst the seedling plants upon the 
seed beds when very young, this often deters the 
pest from attacking them, as it sometimes does 
at this early date. Por late use, and northern 
and cold climates, “Norwegian” cannot he 
surpassed.
