Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the 
United States and special directions regarding the 
time and methods of planting applicable to all 
localities ccm 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 transplant¬ 
ing as early as hard freezing weather is over, set¬ 
ting 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 r\in up 
weak and slender and will not stand transplant¬ 
ing well. 
See page 5 tmder article "Successful Garden¬ 
ing" for information regarding the building and 
maintaining of hotbeds. 
Cabbage should be hoed every week and the 
ground stirred as they advance in growth, throw¬ 
ing up a little earth to the plants until they begin 
to head, when they should be thoroughly culti¬ 
vated and left to mature. Loosening of the roots 
will sometimes retard the bursting of the full grown 
heads. To destroy root maggots, pour a small 
quantity of a solution made of one ounce of cor¬ 
rosive 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 98. 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 freez¬ 
ing 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 vnll 
depend on wither conditions. 
The pits should be in well 
drained soil and some ventila¬ 
tion given through the soil cov¬ 
ering to the straw by means
