Pure-Bred CABBAGE 
VY oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre.

seed in January under glass, and put out into 
flats about 2 inches apart. Transplant to open 
ground as early in the Spring as the soil can 
be prepared, setting 14% to 2 feet apart, in 
rows, which should be 3 feet apart. Cultivate 
frequently, and during dry weather water 
copiously. Late cabbage seed should be sown ¥ 
in drills in open ground during April and May, 
and transplanted in June or July. Fertilize 
heavily, using 400 pounds nitrate of soda per 
acre in three dressings, one-third when plants 
are set out, and two-thirds a month apart 
later. '
