12 FERRY-MORSE SEED CO. 

Setting a field of Cabbage heads for stock-seed production at our 
Oakview Seed Breeding Station 
CABBAGE 
Two trials are made of our cabbage stocks at our Oakview Experimental Gardens 
each year. In the spring trial, the young plants are set out early in May. In the second 
or late trial, the plants are set in the field early in July. 
From the time seed is sown until the plants are ready for the field 30 to 35 days are required. 
We have indicated the average number of days required to produce heads fully fit for 
market from the date the young plants are set in the field.
