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 wook 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 Cabbages are assured. For Summer and Autumn use, sow tho seed in March, and a succession in April and May if required, and when the 
plants are large onough, 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, Ellam’s Early, Nonpareil, &c., rows 18 inches 
apart, and 15 inches from plant to plant fulfil requirements. Cabbages are highly appreciated in oarly Spring. For this crop the seed should be sown 
in the Northern districts in July, and in tho Midland and Southern districts during August. 
RED CABBAGES. — Seed may be sown either in Spring or Autumn ; if sown in the middle of August and planted out late", splendid heads will 
•be produced the following Autumn.
