He Who Eats Cabbage Has a Good Head 
An Ounce Will Produce About 2500 Plants 
Boiled ham and cabbage, my what a meal. Sauer¬ 
kraut and boiled cabbage are two of my favorite dishes. 
I know some of you like to joke me about eating boiled 
cabbage but I like it raw too. 
Culture: Sow in hotbeds in February and March and in 
open ground in April or May. Sow late Fall varieties in 
May. Plant them in rows 2 feet apart with 20 inches be¬ 
tween the plants in the rows. 
(Some late kinds may show signs of bursting. If this occurs, 
push the plants over to one side to check their growth.
