Cabbage is a good fall and winter 
crop for Florida and the South. In 
Florida, cabbage may be planted 
from August to March, but heaviest 
plantings are made in September 
and October. 
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 ration. 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

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.
