CABBAGE 
The earliest cabbages are started under glass and transplanted when 4-6” high, 
into rows 2-2Yoft. apart with 18” between plants. Later, larger sorts need a little 
more room. Each ounce of seed should produce about 3,000 plants and an acre of 
cabbage will contain 12,000-15,000 plants. 
Days given below are from setting of plants to marketable heads. 
Yellows-resistant Varieties 
Essential to the grower in yellows-infested areas. 
Cabbage yellows or wilt is a serious disease which makes the plants turn yellowish, wilt and curl 
up. It is caused by a fungus in the soil and there is no known remedy once the plants have become 
infected. Where the disease exists, only yellows-resistant varieties should be planted.
