deep. The plants are set out from the middle of March to the middle 
of April, in rows about two feet apart, and eighteen inches between 
the plants in rows. This earliest crop matures in July. For second 
early the early kinds should be sown first week in April and planted 
out in May. This crop matures in August and September. Late 
Cabbage for I all and winter use sow from May to June. The plants 
are set in Ja'y, &t distances of 2^ feet between the rows and 2}^ 
feet between the plants. This crop matures in October and November.
