This vegetable will not stand

Most good garden soil will produce satisfactory 
cabbage if it is properly enriched. Commer¬ 
cially it is grown on soil ranging from sandy 
loam to very hard clay or even mulch. Perhaps 
what is more important than texture is soil 
moisture. This must be adeguate and conserved 
by constant cultivation. Most important of all is 
fertility, no crop repays so richly the expendi¬ 
ture of fertilizer as cabbage. It is most advisable 
to use a commercial fertilizer that could be ap¬ 
plied before planting at the rate of 11 pounds to 
a 100 foot row. It is also advisable to top dress 
about three weeks after the plants are set out 
with Nitrate of Soda at the rate of 114 pounds to 
100 foot row. The Nitrate of Soda application is 
necessary only for the early varieties. 
Sow seed in flats during February and March, 
use normal soil as richly fertilized types will 
cause the seedlings to grow too fast and become 
spindly. When seedlings are 3 to 4 inches high 
replant further apart in flats or boxes. This in¬ 
sures stocky instead of spindly plants and makes 
them a month or six weeks earlier than if the 
plants were set out. Cabbage should be set out 
at different intervals depending upon variety. 
Early varieties should be set about 14 inches 
apart in rows 28 inches apart. Late season vari¬ 
eties should be set 24 inches apart in rows 36 
inches apart. If planted much closer they would 
be crowding and result in small heads. Prices 
unless otherwise noted: Packet, 5c; ounce, 
25c; 14 pound, 85c.
