THE CABBAGE 
To obtain good, tender hearts of this vegetable for as 
long a season as possible, successional sowings must be 
made. For an early crop in spring it is advisable to 
sow the seed in the previous July or August. In places 
where winter comes on early, the seed should be sown in 
July, but in the south of England August is early enough. 
If Cabbages are sown too early they have a tendency to 
run to seed, or “bolt”, in spring. 
The seed can be sown in lines on a border. Sow 
thinly to ensure sturdy and healthy plants. As these 
plants have to stand the winter, it is important that they 
should get a good start in the seed bed. When ready
