CABBAGE 
One ounce will sow 300 feet of drill, 4 ounces for acre. 
Culture.—Soil for cabbage should be a rich, heavy 
loam, with good drainage. For early summer use, sow 
in hotbed in February or March. Before transplanting to 
the open ground, they should be hardened off by expos¬ 
ing them gradually to the night air. For winter use, 
sow in open ground in May or June, taking care In 
either case not to let the plants stand too closely, as 
this makes them “spindly.” When 5 to 7 inches high, 
transplant in rows 2 feet apart one way and 12 to 18 
inches the other, according to variety.
