German, “Kopfkohl.”—French, “Chou Pomme.” 
Spanish, “Berza” 
Cabbage will do well in any deep, rich, well-drained, 
and abundantly manured soil. Sow seed of the early 
varieties in hot beds about February first, and prick out 
into other hot beds as soon as the plants are strong 
enough, or set in cold frames in March. When danger 
of frost is past, transplant to the open ground. The late 
or winter crop seed can be sown in seed beds in May 
and plants set in the field in July. Late varieties are 
usually planted in rows 30 inches apart with 2 feet be¬ 
tween plants; early sorts may be set 15 by 24 inches or 
even closer. One ounce of seed should produce about 
2600 plants.

flavor, and as a keeper for winter 
use it is unsurpassed.
