CABBAGE 
Seed may be planted almost any time of the year. How* 
ever, there are three seasons preferable for sowing—in Sep- 
tember for early spring cabbages, from January to April for 
summer and fall cabbages, and July to August for winter 
cabbages. Sow the seed Yl inch deep and transplant the early 
varieties to rows 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. 
They will mature in about 105 days. The late varieties mature 
in about 150 days and should be planted in rows 3 feet apart 
and 24 inches apart in the row. To prevent the heads from 
splitting open before they are ready to be harvested, the 
plants should be loosened a little at the root. Cabbages re' 
quire plenty of moisture, but too much water may cause them 
to rot. One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
