Cultivation. — Excellent Cabbages can be grown, without much outlay, by every one possessing a garden. They prefer a good rich loamy soil, 
a liberal supply of manure, and as open a position as possible. The hoe should be kept going every week on the beds, and an occasional 
application of Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of Ammonia (at the rate of one ounce to the square yard) is recommended before the hearts form, when good 
succulent Cabbage* are assured. For Summer and Autumn use, «ow the seed in March, and a succession in April and May if required, and when the 
plants are largo enough, prick out into seed beds, and finally plant out in rows two feet apart for the stronger growing varieties, such as Daniels’ Defiance 
and Enfield Market, with two feet between each plant For the smaller varieties, such as Little Queen, EUam’s Early, Nonpareil, &c., rows 18 inches 
apart, and 16 inches from plant to plant fulfil requirements. Cabbages are highly appreciated in early Spring. For this crop the seed should be sown 
in the Northern districts in July, and in the Midland and Southern districts during August. 
Mm CABBAGES. — Seed may be sown either in Spring or Autumn; if town in the middle of August and planted o»t later, splendid heads 
will be produced the following Autumn.
