CABBAGE 
One ounce will produce about 2500 plants. 
A lot of folks have always joked me because I talk sauer¬ 
kraut and boiled cabbage over the radio a good deal, but I 
am very fond of it, and I think there is nothing any finer 
for a noon-day meal than boiled ham and cabbage. Put a 
little vinegar on the cabbage, and you have a dish there that 
is absolutely satisfying. 
CULTUEE. Sow in hotbeds in February and March and in 
open ground in April or May. Sow late Fall varieties in May. 
Plant them in rows 2 feet apart with 20 inches between 
the plants in the rows. 
Cabbage requires a deep, rich, loamy soil, hut should it be too 
rich, some late kinds may show signs of bursting. If this oc¬ 
curs, push the plants oyer to one side to check their growth.
