CULTURE—The best results are obtained from a 
well-drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties 
should be sown about September 15 and in 4 or 5 weeks 
transplanted to open ground. However, the seed may be 
sown in hotbeds in February; making plantings later of 
course according to variety and time crop is wanted. The 
earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and 
18 inches apart in the rows. 
If it is not especially desired to have early cabbage the 
seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 
4 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and trans- 
plant in May; these will mature in July and August. 
The later varieties should be planted in May and trans- 
Golden Acre planted in July to rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in 
the rows; these will mature from September to November.
