3 Cabbage 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce will produce 
about 2,000 plants; 10,890 plants will plant an acre of

Three ounces of seed will plant an acre of early and 
five ounces an acre of late cabbage. For early cab- 
bage, sow seed in hotbeds in January or February. 
Transplant as early as possible to the open ground 
about two feet apart each way. For late cabbage, sow 
seed in the open ground in May and transplant about 
July first in rows 2% feet each way. 
In fertilizing, we recommend hen manure at the rate of 
one handful to three feet in the furrow. Care must be used 
so that the roots do not come in direct contact with the 
manure.
