The best way to start cabbage, especially the 
early sorts, is in hotbeds, flats, or in a green¬ 
house. Sow the seed % inch deep, in carefully 
prepared rich garden soil. Seed usually germi¬ 
nates in 5 to 10 days. When ready to transplant, 
set . into paper pots or plant bands, in flats, 
until time to set outdoors. The plants can then 
be set out without disturbing the roots, and the 
paper bands form the best protection against 
cutworms. Set in rows 2 feet apart, 20 inches 
apart in the rows. 
Late cabbage may be sown in .the open, 
in rows, and transplanted when 4 to 
6 inches high.
