Cabbage 
Culture —For very early use sow in January or February in hotbeds; put out when the 
plants are strong enough, into other hotbeds, or sow in cold frames in March; transplant when 
danger from killing frost is past, to open ground in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and 18 inches 
in the row. For a succession sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April, "nie 
autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in shallow drills 3 or 4 inches 
apart; transplant early in July in rows. Cabbage succeeds best in fresh, rich soil, well ma¬ 
nured and deeply dug or plowed. One ounce of seed produces about 2,000 plants; one-half 
pound will produce enough plants to set an acre. We have indicated the average number 
of days required to produce heads from the date the young plants are set in the field.
