CABBAGE 
Culture. The secret of growing hardy plants is to thoroughly 
prepare the soil in the plant bed. Plow the soil to a depth of eight 
or ten inches, pulversize well. Sow in drills not too freely, about 
one-half inch deep, press the soil firmly over the seed; this is 
important. In about six weeks transplant in rows three feet 
apart, one foot in the row for Winnigstadt, eighteen inches for 
large-heading varieties. Keep the crop well watered and culti- 
vated for when the growth is checked the seed head matures and 
bursts forth as soon as moisture is again applied. This accounts 
for much cabbage going to seed. Harly varieties mature about 
three and one-half months after transplanting, late varieties in 
spo ie months.
