and should any plant not be forward enough for use before 
frost, let them be removed to a light cellar, where they will 
head during the winter.

CABBAGE 
Early, Midsummer and Late 
CULTURE—For early cabbages sow the seed in a hot bed 
in March and April, covering the seed from % to % inch deep, 
and when big enough, transplant to another bed. As soon as 
the ground is in good condition, transplant outside in rows 2 
feet apart and 15 to 18 inches in the row. The soil should be 
mellow, rich and well drained. For late crops, the seed can be 
sown in a cold frame, or even in the open ground, and then 
transplanted in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet the other, so 
as to be able to work with a horse and cultivator. One ounce 
of saltpeter dissolved in one gallon of water sprinkled over 
the cabbages will destroy the green worm. The liquid being
