RELIABLE SEEDS 
Cabbage 
CULTURE—Cabbage requires a rich moist heavy soil, and deep and frequent cultivation. 
For extra early use, the seed may be sown in the fall during September, and young plants 
protected through the winter in cold frames, or sow the seed during January or February, very 
thinly and shallow in hot-beds. When the young plants have reached sufficient size, gradually 
harden them off by admitting air freely. Transplant to the open ground as soon as the ground 
works up well. Plant one by two feet and cultivate every two weeks. For late use, sow the 
seed in fine soil during May or June. Sow the seed very thinly and not over one-fourth inch 
deep. Another easy method is to plant five or six seeds in a hill, then pull out all but the 
strongest plants.
