CABBAG 
Italian.’-^Cavolo capucci 
Cabbage requires a deep rich and well- 
drained soil. If the soil is at all wet or In a 
sour condition, club root is sure to develop. 
For an early crop, seeds should be sown under 
glass in January or February, and the seedlings 
after being gradually hardened off should be 
planted in the open garden after the middle 
of April. For the Winter crop sow between 
May 10 and May 25 and transplant to the 
garden before July 15. Set the plants 24 Inches 
apart In the rows and allow at least 30 Inches 
between rows. Early varieties of Cabbage may 
be planted a little closer. One ounce of seed 
will produce about 2500 plants; 5 ounces to 
the acre.
