Prices of Seeds. 
CABBAGE. (German, Kopfkohl; French, Pomme de Chou .) 
of the principal varieties of cabbage , making over one half of the list bflow , are of our own growing. 
Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, though the stronger the so* 1 the better they will develop. New 
is preferable. Plough deep and manure very liberally. The early sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two 
feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two to two and a half feet apart; the large, varieties to be from two to 
four feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two and a half to four feet apart, but the largest varieties can be 
planted at the least distances named and do well. The crop should receive as many as three hoeings and three 
cultivatings. Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage or turnips successfully in field culture, unless three or four 
years have intervened between the crops. For late fall marketing, plant drumhead sorts from June 10 to 20.

thousand plants.
