CABBAGE 
CULTURE. One ounce of seed should produce about 3,000 
plants. For early Cabbage sow the seed in a hotbed in March 
or April, covering the seed from one-quarter to one-half inch 
deep and when big enough transplant to another bed. As soon 
as the ground is in good condition, transplant outside in rows 
2 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches in a row. The soil should be 
mellow, rich and well drained. For late crops the seed can be 
sown in a cold frame or even in the open ground, and then 
transplanted in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet the other.
