@e Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the United States and 
special directions regarding the time and methods of planting ap- 
plicable to all localities cannot be given. In general, north of the 
40th parallel the early sorts should be sown very early in hot beds, 
hardening off gradually by exposing them to the night air and trans- 
planting as early as hard freezing weather is over, setting 18 to 36 
inches apart, according to the size and variety. South of the 40th 
parallel sow about the middle of September or later, according to 
the latitude, transplanting to cold frames if necessary to keep 
through the winter and setting in open ground as early as possible 
in the spring. It is important that the plants should not be shaded 
or crowded in the seed bed or they will run up weak and slender 
and will not stand transplanting well. 
See pages 6 and 7 for information regarding the building and main- 
taining of hotbeds. 
Cabbage should be hoed every week and the ground stirred .as 
they advance in growth throwing up a little earth to the plants 
until they begin to head when they should be thoroughly cultivated 
and left to mature. Loosening of the roots will sometimes retard 
the bursting of the full grown heads. Use DDT or Marlate for control 
of worms and Aphicide No. 10 for killing Aphis. See pages 86 
and 87. 
Stand the plants upright in a cool cellar with roots in the sand 
or store in pits or trenches, roots up. If pitted, cover with a layer 
of straw; then with soil. Thickness of the cover will depend on 
weather conditions. The pits should be in a well drained soil and 
some ventilation given through the soil covering to the straw by 
means of a pipe or tile.
