NICHOLSON’S 
CABBAGE 
(Col Repollo) 
How, When and Where 
to Plant 
For plants in hotbeds, sow seed early in 
January, then transplant in open in Feb- 
ruary and March. Later, sow early varieties 
out-of-doors in March and April. For winter 
cabbage, sow seed in July, August and Sep- 
tember, then transplant in October. One 
ounce of seed will produce enough plants 
to set out an acre in rows 30 inches apart, 
one ounce of seed will produce 5,000 plants.
