RICHMOND, VIRGI 

WOOD'S HIGH-GRADE CABBAGE 
CULTURE.—When transplanting cabbage plants from the seed 
bed, set them in good rich soil that has been deeply dug and well 
manured and apply a fertilizer containing plenty of ammonia. 
The soil in the seed bed should not be richer than the soil where 
the plants are to grow, otherwise the growth will be checked. 
Set the plants as deep as the first leaf stems, give frequent and 
deep cultivation, drawing the earth to the plants at each working. 
Set the early varieties 18 inches apart in 2144 to 3 foot rows; the 
late varieties should be set 2 feet apart in 3 foot rows.
