TIPS ON GROWING CABBAGE 
(1) Cabbage likes a cool wet season. Therefore the 
plants should be set out early in March or April to get 



benefit of the cool weather and the early Spring rains, 
and at the same time get ahead of the insects which 
attack cabbage. 
(2) Cabbage likes plenty of nitrogen, so a liberal 
amount of cow or sheep manure, or commercial fertilizer 
mixed in the row BEFORE planting, and an application 
of about one tablespoonful nitrate of soda per head on 
top of the ground about 3 to 4 weeks AFTER planting 
will give sensational results. 
(3) Cabbage likes a very sweet soil, and therefore will 
in over 90% of the cases, benefit by applications of 
lime directly on top of the growing head of cabbage. 
This lime will at the same time repel or kill most of the 
insects that injure cabbage.
