CABBAGES 
When served raw or not cooked over-long, Cab- 
bage is a valuable food. An excellent source of 
vitamin C, and an outstanding one of calcium, with 
some phosphorus. 
Sow early kinds 1 inch deep indoors in February 
and March, and in the open ground during April 
and May. Late varieties for fall and winter use 
should also be sown in May. Early sorts may be 
planted in rows 21% feet apart, with 18 inches 
between plants in the row; late kinds should stand 
215 feet each way. To be well grown Cabbages re- 
quire a deep, rich, loamy soil, but should it be too 
rich some late kinds may show signs of bursting. 
If this occurs, push the plants over to one side and 
so check their growth. 
Certain diseases, particularly “‘Yellows,’’ where 
the young plant becomes stunted and eventually 
dies, affect Cabbages; sickly specimens should be 
pulled up and destroyed. Under Brussels Sprouts, 
on page 6, you can read of the insects which some- 
times attack plants of this family. The hints given 
there on combating them apply equally to Cabbage. 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants.
