The early sorts of spring Cabbage may be raised in vari- 
ous ways. Some sow the seed between the tenth and twenty- 
fourth of September, pricked out and managed the same as 
Cauliflower plants, only that they are more hardy, and may 
sometimes be kept through the winter, without sashes. 
Some prefer sowing the seed in a cold-bed, covered by a 
garden frame with sashes. If this frame be placed on a 
warm border, and kept free from frost, and the seed of the 
early kinds sown the latter end of January, or early in Feb 
ruary, these plants will be better than those raised in the 
fall ; as they will not be so liable to run to seed, and they 
will be more hardy, and full as early as those raised in hot- 
beds in the spring. 
Or, if a heap of fresh horse manure be deposited on the 
ground intended for the raising of early plants before the 
frost sets in, the same may be removed some mild day in 
January or February, and temporary frames made by driving 
stakes in the ground, and nailing planks or slabs thereto. 
The ground being then dug, the seed sown, and covered up 
with sashes, will soon produce plants in perfection. The 
frames should be well protected, by placing the manure 
around them, and covering the tops with mats, boards, &c., 
as directed for hot-beds in the Calendar for February and 
March.
