Cabbage Preserves the Clearness 
and Smoothness of the Skin 
An Ounce Will Produce About 2500 Plants 
Sauerkraut and boiled cabbage are two of my favorite 
dishes. I like cabbage raw, too. I raised a fine lot of it in 
my garden last year, and I think there is nothing finer for a 
noon-day meal than boiled ham and cabbage. A lot of folks 
like it that way too, so they say. 
Culture: 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, but should it be too 
rich, some late kinds may show signs of bursting. If this oc¬ 
curs, push the plants over to one side to check their growth.
