CABBAGE 
Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the 
United States and specific directions regard- 
ing the time and methods of planting applic- 
able to all localities cannot be given. Early 
varieties should be sown very early in hot 
beds, hardening off gradually by exposing 
them to night air and transplanting as soon 
as hard freezing weather is over, setting the 
plants 18 to 36 inches apart, according to 
size and variety. It is important that they 
should not be shaded or crowded in the seed 
bed or they will run up weak and slender 
and will not stand transplanting well. 
Cabbage should be hoed every week and 
the ground stirred as they advance in 
srowth, throwing up a little earth to the 
plants until they begin to head, when they 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
(A) Chihli 
Quite a distinct early variety of great merit 
which we think superior to all other types. 
Heads are long, almost cylindrical, blanched 
pure white, very soHd and of superior quality. 
The upright growth and the shape of the heads 
permit closer planting than of other kinds. 
Although of recent introduction it is already very 
popular on most markets. It is important to 
sow at the right time in July and August as 
Spring sowing will bolt to seed. Pkt., .15; 02z.,

should be thoroughly cultivated and left to 
mature. Loosening of the roots will some- 
times retard the bursting of the full grown 
heads. To destroy root maggots, pour a 
small quantity of a solution made of one 
ounce of corrosive sublimate to 10 gallons 
of water at the base of the plant. Be very 
careful as this solution is a deadly poison. 
For aphis and cabbage worms dust with 
Rotenone Dust or Sulrote—controlling com- 
mon cabbage worms and other leaf chewing 
insects. Dusting should be thorough, early 
in the season and continued as necessary up 
to the time of cutting heads for use.
