ASHEVILLE SEED CO., ASHEVILLE-, N. C. 
LONG ISLAND GROWN CABBAGE SEED 
CULTURE—For plants of the earliest sorts, 
sow seed in January or February under glass, and 
put out in flats or frames about 2 inches apart 
each way. Transplant to open ground as soon 
in spring as the land can be properly prepared. 
A rich, warm, fibrous loam is best. Set the 
early plants in rows about 18 inches apart, 
and rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough 
cultivation and irrigate in dry weather if prac¬ 
ticable. A little nitrate of soda applied around 
the plant is of great benefit. A fertilizer with 
a high percentage of potash will also do much 
good. For late cabbage plants, sow seed in drills 
in open ground during April and May, and 
transplant in June and July about 2 feet apart 
in 2foot rows. Dusting with tobacco dust, 
slug shot, etc., are good and safe remedies for 
some of the insect pests attacking plants of the 
cabbage family. Sow one ounce for 2,000 plants; 
6 to 8 ounces for one acre. Cover Yi in. deep.
