American Drumhead Savoy Cabbage 
CABBAGE 
Seed may be planted almost any time of the year. How¬ 
ever, there are three seasons preferable for sowing—in Sep- 
I tember for early spring cabbages, from January to April 
for summer and fall cabbages, and July to August for win¬ 
ter cabbages. Sow the seed y 2 inch deep and transplant the 
early varieties to rows 24 inches apart and 18 inches apart 
in the rows. They will mature in about 105 days. The late 
varieties mature in about 150 days and should be planted in 
rows 30 inches apart and 24 inches apart in the row. To pre¬ 
vent the heads from splitting open before they are ready to 
be harvested, the plants should be loosened a little at the 
root. Cabbages require plenty of moisture, but too much 
water causes them to rot very readily. One ounce will pro¬ 
duce about 2,000 plants.
