CABBAGE. 
The Cabbage is one of the most important vegetables, and some of its varieties 
universally cultivated. The ground must be highly manured, deeply dug or 
plowed, and thoroughly worked, to insure good, full sized heads. A heavy, 
moist and fresh loam is the most suitable. The early sorts should be sown 
very early in the spring, in hot beds, or later in the open ground. Eighteen 
inches by three feet apart is the common distance. 
One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants.
