How to Grow Cabbage 
- For earliest crop, start early and midseason cab- 
bage seed in hotbed or house; for medium early 
cabbage, seed may be sown ina coldframe or open- 
ground seed-bed in early spring. Sow late cabbage 
{All Seasons _ 
for winter use in a seed-bed outdoors when soil has 
become warm. A pkt., except O-S Cross, will pro- 
duce about 250 plants; an oz, about 2000 plants. 
Days to maturity are from the time the plants are 
set inthe garden; allow 30 days to produce plants 
from seed. Cabbage does best in deep, rich, loamy 
soil and should ‘be given plenty of water during 
prolonged dry spells. Space early cabbage plants 
-18 in. apart in rows 2% ft. apart; the large mid- 
season and late varieties 2 ft. apart in rows 2% to 
3 ft. apart. Cabbage should never be planted in 
the same location where it, cauliflower, broccoli, 
or any of the cabbage family, had been planted the 
previous year. Healthy, solid heads of late cab- 
bage may be stored for winter use.

and solid. Stands hot weather unusually well. Recommended for 
‘“‘vellows’’-infested land as it is highly resistant to ‘‘yellows’’ as 
.well as cabbage mosaic. On soils not infested with “‘yellows,”’ plant 
non-resistant All Seasons or other non-resistant varieties.
