RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
WOOD'S HIGH-GRADE CABBAGE 
CUETURE.—When transplanting cahhagfe plants from the seed 
bed, set them in good rich soil that has been deeply dug: and 'nrell 
manured and apply a fertilizer containing' plenty of ammonia. 
The soil in the seed bed should not be richer than the soil -where 
the plants are to grow, otherwise the gro-wth -wrill be checked. 
Set the plants as deep as the first leaf stems, give frequent and 
deep cultivation, dra-wing the earth to the plants at each working. 
Set the early varieties 18 inches apart in 2^ to 3 foot rows; the 
late varieties should be set 2 feet apart in 3 foot rows. 
POR CABBAGE WORMS—Spray -with Evergreen Spray. Red ar¬ 
row, Rotenone Dust and Baricide. None of them is poisonous, but 
all will kill the worm and will not impair the cabbage for human 
food. All are described and priced on page 72.
