“ With fragrant breath the lilies woo me note, 83 
And softly speaks the sweet voiced mignonette."— Julia C. R. Dorr. 
The Cabbage requires a deep, rich soil, and thorough working. For early use, the plants should be started in a hot-bed or cold frame; but seed 
for winter Cabbage should be sown in a seed-bed, early in the spring. Some of the large late varieties seem to do best if the seed is sown in the hills 
where they are to remain, and in that case sow two or three seeds where each plant is desired and then pull up all but the strongest. Plant the 
large varieties three feet apart; the small, early sorts, from a foot to eighteen inches. The Savoy Cabbages have wrinkled leaves and arc of fine 
flavor, especially after a little frost has touched them in the autumn. Some gardeners grow plants for early summer Cabbage in a frame in autumn, 
protecting them with boards or matting during winter. In mild climates Cabbage can be transplanted in autumn. Insects have been exceedingly 
troublesome to Cabbage in many sections of late years. See advertisement of Vick’s Exterminator. Growers must try for a rapid growth, and 
wage a constant warfare against the enemy.
