@ Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the United States and 
special directions regarding the time and methods of planting ap- 
plicable to all localities cannot be given. In general, north of the 
40th parallel the early sorts should be sown very early in hot beds, 
hardening off gradually by exposing them to the night air and trans- 
planting as early as hard freezing weather is over, setting 18 to 36 
inches apart, according to the size and variety. South of the 40th 
parallel sow about the middle of September or later, according to 
the latitude, transplanting to cold frames if necessary to keep 
through the winter and setting in open ground as early as possible 
in the spring. It is important that the plants should not be shaded 
or crowded in the seed bed or they will run up weak and slender 
and will not stand transplanting well. 
_ See page 5 under article “Successful Gardening” for information 
regarding the building and maintaining of hotbeds. 
Cabbage should be hoed every week and the ground stirred as 
they advance in growth, throwing up a little earth to the plants 
until they begin to head, when they should be thoroughly culti- 
vated and left to mature. Loosening of the roots will sometimes 
retard the bursting of the full grown heads. To destroy root mag- 
gots, pour a small quantity of a solution made of one ounce of cor-. 
rosive sublimate to 10 gallons of water at the base of the plant. 
Be very careful as this solution is deadly poison. For control of 
aphis and cabbage worms see Aphicide R-1, page 88. Dusting should 
be thorough, early in the season and continued as necessary up to 
the time of cutting heads for use. Gather for winter storage before 
freezing weather sets in. Do 
not remove the leaves or soil. 
Stand the plants upright in 
a cool cellar with roots in 
the sand or store in pits or 
trenches, roots up. If pitted 
cover with a layer of straw; 
then with soil. Thickness of 
the cover will depend on 
weather conditions. The pits 
should be in a well drained 
soil and some _ ventilation 
given through the soil cover- 
ing to the straw by means of 
a pipe or tile. ;
