CABBAGE CULTURE 
I oz. of Seed to 3,000 Plants. P®*" sere. 
Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the 
United States and special directions regard¬ 
ing the time and methods of planting ap¬ 
plicable to all localities can not be given. In 
general, north of the 40th parallel the early 
sorts should be sown very early in hot beds, 
hardening off gradually by exposing them to 
the night air and transplanting as early as 
hard freezing weather is over, setting 18 to 
36 inches apart, according to the size and 
variety. South of the 40th parallel sow about 
the middle of September or later, according 
to the latitude, transplanting to cold frames 
if necessary to keep through the winter and 
setting in open ground as early as possible 
in the spring. It is important that the plants 
should not be shaded or crowded in the seed 
bed or they will run up weak and slender and 
will not stand transplanting well. 
See page 4 under article “Successful Gar¬ 
dening’* .for information regarding the build¬ 
ing and maintaining of hotbeds. 
Cabbage should be hoed every week and 
the ground stirred as they advance in growth, 
throwing up a little earth to the plants until 
they begin to head, when they should be 
thoroughly cultivated and left to mature. 
Loosening of the roots will sometimes retard 
the bursting of the full grown heads. To de¬ 
stroy root maggots, pour a small quantity of 
a solution made of one ounce of corrosive 
sublimate to 10 gallons of water at the base of the plant. Be very 
careful as this solution is deadly poison. For aphis and cabbage worms 
dust with Aphicide “Pyronic.” See Page 89. Dusting should be 
thorough, early in the season and continued as necessary up to the time 
of cutting heads for use. Gather for winter storage before freezing 
weather sets in. Do not 
remove the leaves or soil. 
Stand the plants upright in 
a cool cellar with roots in 
the sand or store in pits or 
trenches, roots up. If pitted 
cover with a layer of straw; 
then with soil. Thickness 
of the cover will depend on 
weather conditions. The 
pits should be in well 
drained soil and some ven¬ 
tilation given through the 
soil covering to the straw 
A Good Method of Storing Cabbage by means of a pipe or tile.
