CULTURE: Cabbage is grown all over the country and special 
directions regarding the time and methods of planting applicable to 
all localities cannot be given. In general north of the 40th parallel 
the early sorts should be sown very early in hot beds, hardening off 
gradually by exposing .them to the night air and transplanting as 
early as hard freezing weather is over, setting 18 to 36 inches apart, 
according to the size and variety. South of the 40th parallel sow 
about the middle of September or later, according to the latitude, 
transplanting to cold frames if necessary to keep through winter 
and setting in open ground as early as possible in the spring. It is 
important that the plants should not be shaded or crowded in the 
seed bed, or they will run up weak and slender and will not stand 
transplanting well. Cabbage should be hoed every week and the 
ground stirred as they advance in growth, throwing up a little earth 
to the plants until they begin to head, when they should be thor¬ 
oughly cultivated and left to mature. Loosening the roots will some¬ 
times retard the bursting of the full grown heads. To destroy root 
maggots, pour a small quantity of a solution made of one ounce of 
corrosive sublimate to 10 gallons of water at the base of the plant. 
Be very careful as this solution is deadly poison. For aphis and 
cabbage worms dust with Aphicide “Pyronic.” Dusting should be 
thorough, early in the season and continued as necessary up to the 
time of cutting heads for use.
