@® Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the United States and special 
directions regarding the time and methods of planting applicable to 
all localities cannot be given. In general, north of the 40th parallel 
the early sorts should be sown very early in hot beds, hardening off 
gradually by exposing them to the night air and transplanting as 
early as hard freezing weather is over, setting 18 to 36 inches apart, 
according to the size and variety. South of the 40th parallel sow 
about the middle of September or later, according to the latitude, 
transplanting to cold frames if necessary to keep through the winter 
and setting in open ground as early as possible in the spring. It is 
important that the plants should not be shaded or crowded in the 
seed bed or they will run up weak and slender and will not stand 
transplanting well. 
See pages 5 and 6 for information regarding the building and main- 
taining of hotbeds. 
Cabbage should be hoed or cultivated every week, throwing up a 
little earth to the plants until they begin to head when they should 
be thoroughly cultivated and left to mature. Loosening of the roots 
will sometimes retard the bursting of the full grown heads. Use DDT 
or Marlate for control of worms and nicotine dust for killing Aphis. 
Stand the plants upright in a cool cellar with roots in the sand 
or store in pits or trenches, roots up. If pitted, cover with a layer 
of straw; then with soil. Thickness of the cover will depend on 
weather conditions. The pits should be in a well drained soil and 
‘some ventilation given through the soil covering to the straw by 
ymeans of a pipe or tile.
