CABBAGE 
One ounce produces 1,600 plants; one-half pound transplants 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 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 the 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 2X feet apart and 2 feet in the row. Cab- 
bage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are sub- 
ject 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 clew.
