Culture: In our immediate section where sown in the spring of 
the year the heading varieties have to be transplanted in order to form 
heads, and when sown in the fall of the year, especially if the weather 
is warm, the seed does not always germinate readily, and if you experi¬ 
ence trouble in getting it to germinate, dampen a cloth and spread the 
seed on same, placing it in the ice box for several days until the 6eeds 
germinate, then plant the sprouted seed in the open ground, sprinkling 
a little soil over them lightly, in drills 18 inches apart and thin the 
young plants to 4 inches apart in the row. r /z ounce to 100 feet of row;
