Occasional Dusting With Slug Shot Destroys Cabbage Worms 
Cabbage 
Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from well-formed, selected heads. The ground should be a heavy, 
moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed and thoroughly worked. For early plants sow in mid-September, 
and protect in coldframes through the Winter. The more common way is to sow in hotbeds in February or March, and 
prick out into coldframes, to be transplanted, when danger of frost is past. Early varieties should set 18 inches by 2 
feet, Fall and Winter sorts 28 inches apart each way. The late Autumn and Winter varieties may be sown in a seed 
bed, from the middle to close of Spring, and transplanted when about 6 inches high. Shade 
and water in dry weather. See that the plants stand thinly in the seed bed; if they come 
up thick, prick them out into beds 4 to 6 inches apart. They can then be moved with earth 
attached, on a moist day, without damage. Transplant just at evening, giving each plant 
, . . water at the root. Hoe every week more deeply as they advance, drawing up a little more

hilled up.
