The Main-Crop Planting of Cabbage in Florida Begins in August and Continues to December 
CABBAGE 
Sow 6 ounces of seed in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 12 ounces of seed per acre in field 
Culture. Cabbage is a heavy feeder and 
should be grown rapidly. Therefore, for 
best results, plenty of fertilizer should be 
used—not less than 1000 pounds per acre, 
and a ton is better. You cannot grow a big, 
heavy crop of cabbage on a starvation ra¬ 
tion. Where planted in seed-bed, which is 
the desirable and common practice, plant 
seed thin in drills 6 inches apart, cover 1 
inch deep, using 6 ounces of seed for an 
acre of plants, and do not make your soil 
in seed-bed as rich as soil where plants are 
to be set. When seed is planted in field, use 
12 ounces of seed per acre. Make rows 2% 
to 3 feet apart and set plants 12 to 15 
inches apart in row, depending on size of 
head you wish to produce. If you desire 
small heads, crowd the plants; for large 
heads, place farther apart. It is recom¬ 
mended to treat cabbage seed with a good 
disinfectant before planting. Write us or 
ask our store managers for directions.
