Henderson’s Early 
CABBAGE 
One ounce produces 1,600 plants ; one-half pound trans- 
plants for an acre 
Culture. — For very early sow in January or 
February in hotbeds. Set out, when plants are 
strong enough, into other hotbeds or sow in cold- 
frames in March; transplant to the open ground 
when danger from killing frost is past, into rows 2 
feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. For suc- 
cession sow in the open ground the last of March or 
early in April. The autumn and winter varieties sow 
in April or early in May, in shallow frames, 3 or 4 
inches apart; transplant early, in rows 2'A feet 
apart and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best 
in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug 
or plowed. The late plants are subject to an attack 
of cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as they 
appear above ground. To preserve the plants, 
sprinkle them with wood-ashes, air-slaked lime, 
plaster or slug-shot or tobacco-dust early in the 
morning while the plants are wet with dew.
