CABBAGE 
Seed may be planted almost any time of the year. How¬ 
ever, there are three seasons preferable for sowing—in Sep¬ 
tember for early spring cabbages, from January to April for 
summer and fall cabbages, and July to August for winter 
cabbages. Sow the seed y 2 inch deep and transplant the early 
varieties to rows 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. 
They will mature in about 105 days. The late varieties mature 
in about 150 days and should be planted in rows 3 feet apart 
and 24 inches apart in the row. To prevent the heads from 
splitting open before they are ready to be harvested, the 
plants should be loosened a little at the root. Cabbages re¬ 
quire plenty of moisture, but too much water may cause them 
to rot. One ounce will produce; about 2,000 plants.
