Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from well formed, selected heads. The ground should be a 
heavy, moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed and thoroughly worked. For early plants sow in 
The more common way is to sow in hotbeds in 
February or March, and prick out into cold frames, to be transplanted when danger of frost is past. Early varie- 
ties should be set 18 inches by 2 feet, fall and winter sorts 28 inches apart each way. The late autumn and winter 
varieties may be sown in a seed bed, from the middle to close of spring, and transplanted when about 6 inches 
high. Shade and water in dry weather. See that the plants stand thinly in the seed 
mid-September, and protect in cold frames through the winter.

bed; if they come up thick, prick them out into beds 4 to 6 inches apart. They can 
then be moved with earth attached, on a moist day, without damage. Transplant just 
at evening, giving each plant water at the root. Hoe every week more deeply as they 
advance, drawing up a little more earth each time, until they begin to head, when 
they should be fairly dug between and hilled up. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants.
