inches apart and 18 inches apart in 
the row. Late cabbage are usually 
grown from seed sown thinly in a 
cold frame early in May and plants 
from these are set in the field about 
the middle of June, spacing the 
plants in rows 32 inches apart and 
20 to 22 inches apart in the row. 
The usual maintenance tillage 
should be given during the summer, 
and the ground not allowed to be- 
come hard and compact or to dry 
out. 
In the storing of late cabbage cut 
the heads during a dry day and 
stoi’e where good ventilation is pos- 
sible. The air should be kept dry 
and the temperature as low as pos- 
sible. The heads should be placed 
on slatted shelves far enough apart 
to store two or three tiers of cab- 
bage, with a good chance for venti- 
lation under the shelves. A con- 
fined atmosphere renders cabbage 
storage impossible. 
Cauliflower. 
The cauliflower requires a cool, 
rich loam. A northern exposure is

best. Continuous growth is impor- 
tant, and anything that tends to 
check the plant in any way should 
be avoided. Dry weather often re- 
sults in failure, and where water- 
ing is possible it may be advisable. 
For early and late cauliflower start 
the seed and handle the same as for 
early and late cabbage, except that 
more careful attention should be 
given to detail in the development 
of plants. Like the cabbage, it 
takes about seven weeks to develop 
a stocky, properly hardened-off 
plant. They may be spaced in the 
field the same as cabbage. 
When the heads are three to four 
inches in diameter the leaves should 
be tied together over the head in or- 
der to develop a good white flower. 
Turnips. 
The early turnips may be sown 
as soon as the ground is fit, in well 
prepared soil. The Swede turnip 
should be sown about the last of 
May. They do best on a good loam 
retentive of moisture. Continuous

growth is necessary to develop good 
quality. Like most of the root 
crops, they develop best during the 
damp, cool fall weather, and the ad- 
vantage of late seeding is that they 
make little growth during the hot 
summer, developing a succulent tis- 
sue in the fall. Swede turnips 
planted early are very liable to be 
checked in growth during the heat 
of the summer, developing a root 
containing much fibre, and lacking 
in quality. 
Corn. 
A warm, friable, rich soil should 
be selected for garden corn. The 
seed is sown in hills three and one- 
half feet apart each way, and five 
plants allowed to develop in a hill. 
The seed is sown soon after the mid- 
dle of May. Early and late varie- 
ties should be planted to extend the 
supply of table corn into the fall. 
As is the case with peas and beans, 
constant surface cultivation to keep 
the weeds down and maintain a 
loose surface mulch is necessary.
