Cabbage of All Popular Varieties 
To raise Cabbage successfully is compar- 
atively easy. Sow seed in open beds and 
when the plants are sufficiently large, 
which is usually six to eight weeks after 
seed is sown, transplant to the permanent 
fields in rows about 3 feet apart, setting 
the plants 2 feet apart in the rows. For 
fall and winter Cabbage sow seed in May, 
June and July. For spring Cabbage sow in 
August and September.

CARROTS — From January to December 
Table or Garden Varieties 
of Carrots 
Carrots require only average simple care 
and have no serious insect or disease 
pests. Sandy loam is the best soil type; 
however, almost any soil that is thoroughly 
and deeply worked will produce a good 
crop. Plant seed in rows 16 to 18 inches 
apart and cover one-half to one inch, press- 
ing the soil down firmly. When the plants 
are about 2 inches tall, thin them so that 
they will not crowd each other. February 
is a good month to sow for the spring crop, 
and August for the fall crop. However, an 
almost continuous crop may be harvested 
by sowing seed at 4 to 6 weeks intervals 
throughout the year.
