CABBAGE— FOR all seasons 
Start early cabbage in the hotbed or house, the middle of 
February. Late cabbage for winter use is sown in late May 
or early June. One oz. will produce 2000 plants. Outdoors, 
sow one oz. to 300 ft. of drill. 4 ozs. sown in the hotbed gives 
sufficient plants to set out one acre. Sown in the open 
seedbed, 8 ozs. are needed for planting one acre. Days to 
maturity are from field setting of plants; allow 30 days f.ir 
plant production. Treat seed with Seinesan to control disease.
