How to Grow Cabbage 
cabbage may be stored for winter use. 
rounded, flattened heads which are remarkably solid through- 

For earliest crop, start early and mid- 
season cabbage seed in hotbed or house; 
for medium early cabbage, seed may be 
sown in a coldframe or open-ground seed- 
bed in early spring. Sow late cabbage for 
winter use in a seed-bed outdoors when 
soil has become thoroughly warm. A pkt. 
will produce about 250 plants; an oz. 
about 2000 plants. Days to maturity are 
figured from the time the plants are set in 
the garden; allow 30 days to produce 
plants from seed. Cabbage does best in 
deep, rich, loamy soil and should be given 
plenty of water during» prolonged dry 
spells. Space early cabbage plants 18 in. 
apart in rows 24 ft. apart; the large mid- 
season and late varieties 2 ft. apart in 
rows 2% to 3 ft, apart. Cabbage should 
never be planted in the same location 
where it, cauliflower, broccoli, or any of 
the cabbage family had been planted the 
previous year. Healthy, solid heads of late
