Cabbage 
CULTURE—Cabbage is an important crop and should be planted in fresh, rich soil, well 
manured and deeply dug or plowed. For early use sow in a hotbed in March, transplant 
to the open ground when danger from frost is past. Plant the early sorts about 18 inches 
in the rows and the late sorts about 2 feet in the rows and the rows about 3 feet apart. 
For the late crops Sow in the open ground in June. Our cabbage seed is grown from 
selected stock and is equal to any offered in the market. 
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
