SAVOY CABBAGES. 
SAVOY CABBAGE— DANIELS’ SELECTED DRUMHEAD. 
Cultivation. — Excellent Cabbages can bo grown, without much outlay, 
by everyone 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 bo 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 Cabbages aro assured. For Summer and Autumn use, sow the 
-seed in March, and a succession in April and May if required, and when 
tho plants are large enough, prick out into seed beds, and finally plant out 
in rows two feet apart for tho 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, &e., rows 
18 inches apart, and 15 inches from plant to plant fulfil requirements. 
Cabbages are highly appreciated in early Spring. For this crop the seed 
should be sown m the Northern districts in July, and in tho Midland and 
Southern districts during August.

if sown in tho middle of August and planted out later,* splendid heads will
