Henderson’s Early Summer 
CABBAGE 
Cui.TURE.— For very early sow in January or February in hotbeds. Set out, when plants are strong 
enough into other hotbeds or sow in coldframes in March; transplant to the open ground when danger from 
killing frost is past, into rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in a row. For succession, 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 z'/z 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. °
