One ounce produces 1,500 plants; one-half pound 
transplants for an acre 
Culture. — For very early use sow in 
January or February in hotbeds. Set out, when 
plants are strong enough, into other hotbeds 
or sow in eoldframes 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. Sow the autumn and winter va- 
rieties in April or early in May, in shallow 
frames, 3 to 4 inches apart; transplant early 
in rows 2 >2 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, Slug-Shot or tobacco- 
dust early in the morning while the plants are 
wet with dew.
