There is no vegetable which may be cultivated with more certainty of success than this, and few ifanv that are so rn-n 
erally useful as it may be made to follow other crops and will give some return no matter how poor the soil or how netT 
ligent the cultivation, while it responds so readily to better care, that it claims a place in the finest g ,rden and the atterL 
tion of the most skillful gardener. ° * 
Culture. —The requisites for complete success are: 
First, good seed; there is no vegetable where the seed has 
more influance on the quality ot the product than in this, 
and gardeners should invariably select the best procurable. 
Second, rich, well prepared ground-.- 7 'Jiird, frequent and 
thorough cultivation. For Cabbage, the, ground must be 
highly manured, deeply dug or plowed,* and thoroughly 
worked to insure good, full sized heads. A heavy, moist 
and fresh loam is most suitable. The early sorts should be 
sown very early, in hot-beds, harden off, and transplant 
eighteen to twenty-four inches apart, early in the Spring. 
At the South, sow Iroin the middle of September to mid- 
tile of October, and transplant into cold frames to preserve 
through Winter, setting into open ground as early as posi- 
ble. In transplanting, they must be set in the ground up to 
the first leaf, no matter how long the stem may be. All 
through the season the ground should be cultivated as of¬ 
ten asposibte, as success will depend largely upon faithful¬ 
ness in this particular. 
The late Autum and Winter varieties may be sown in a 
seed bed, from the middle to the last of Spring, and trans¬ 
planted when about six inches high, three feet apart each 
way. Shade and water the late sowings in dry weather to 
get them up. It is important that the plants should stand 
thinly in the seed bed, or they will run up weak and slen¬ 
der, and lie likely to make lung stumps. Cabbage should 
be hoed every week, and the ground stired deeper as they 
advance in growth, drawing up a little earth to the plants 
each time, until they begin to head, when they should be 
well dug between and hilled up. After they are partly head¬ 
ed, it is the practice of some garden .rs to lay them over on 
one side. Loosening the roots will sometimes retard the 
bursting of full grown heads. 
To preserve cabbage during the Winter, pul! them on a 
dry d ay, and turn them over on the heads a lew hours to 
drain. Leave them out in a cool cellar, or bury them, with 
the heads downwards, in long trenches, in a ciry situation. 
In the middle States, bury the heads and part of the stump 
in the open ground, and piace over them a light covering 
•f straw and boards, to protect them in severe weather.
