Chinese Cabbage 
We advise that the seed of this Cabbage be sown in July or 
August (not earlier) because it has a tendency to bolt to seed 
in warm weather. Either start in frames and transplant, or 
sow where the plants are to remain, in rows 2)^ feet apart, 
thinning to from 12 to 18 inches apart in the row. It is very 
easily grown and takes very little space.
