CABBAGE. 
German, Kopfkohl . — French, Chou Potnme. — 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. F'or the 
early kinds, plant thirty inches between the rows and six¬ 
teen 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 liot-beds, or set in cold-frames in March. Trans¬ 
plant 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 at¬ 
tacks 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 3,000 plants.
