HOME-GROWN FIELD AND GARDEN SEEDS

CABBAGE 
Culture. — For very early sow in January or February in hotbeds. Set out, when plants are strong 
enough, into other hotbeds or sow in coldtrames in March ; transplant to the open ground when danger from 
killing frost is past, into rows 2 feet apart and i8 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 2>^ 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 dew.
