CABBAGE. 
German, Kopfkohl. — French, Chou Pomme. — Spanish, Berza. 
(For price on Cabbage Plants , see Vegetable Plants.) 
All the cabbage tribe requires is the soil to be rich, deep, well- 
drained, and abundantly manured. For the early kinds, plant thirty 
inches between the rows and sixteen inches between the plants. 
For late kinds, three feet between the rows and two feet between the 
plants. For very early use, sow in January or February, in hot-beds. 
Set out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds, or set 
in cold-frames in March. Transplant when danger from frost is 
past to the open ground. For a succession, sow in the open ground 
last of March or early in April. Late plants are sometimes subject 
to attacks of the cabbage fly, which destroys them as fast as they 
appear above ground. To prevent this destruction, sprinkle the 
plants with wood ashes, air-slacked lime, plaster, slug-shot, or 
tobacco dust, when the plants are wet with dew. One ounce of seed 
■produces about 7.000 plants.

CARROT. 
German, Mohre. — French, Carotte . — Spanish, Zanahoria. 
Carrots are grown largely both for feeding to stock and culinary purposes; the long varieties used for the 
former, the “ Horn” and medium sorts for the latter. The “Horn” sorts can be grown on thin soil and are 
mostly for early use. The others prefer deep, sandy loam that was well-manured the previous year for some 
other crop, such as potatoes or onions. Sow in April or May in drills about one inch deep and fifteen inches 
apart. Thin out the plants from three to eight inches apart, according to variety. One ounce of seed is suffi¬ 
cient for one hundred feet drill, four pounds to an acre. 
EARLY SCARLET FORCING, very early and valuable for forcing .... 
EARLY SCARLET HORN, a medium-sized, half-long variety of fine color . 
GUERANDE, heart-shaped, intermediate between half-long and Horn sorts 
DANVERS HALF LONG, the most desirable main crop variety; an excellent keeper 
LONG ORANGE IMPROVED, a large, long-rooted variety, suitable for table or stock 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN, the largest and most profitable for feeding to stock .
