A packet will produce about 250 plants. 
CABBAGE 
To get very early cabbage in the Northern states, sow the seed in hot- 
beds in February or March, or about six weeks before the ground out- 
side is ready. For medium early crops, sow the seed of early varieties 
outdoors as early as possible and transplant when large enough. On 
rich, well-cultivated land, you will have cabbage in August. For late 
crop, sow in the Northern States about May 20 and set plants out 
July 1. Early varieties may be sown as late as June 10. 
One ounce of seed will produce 
1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 in frames; 4 Ib. to an acre. 
CONTROL OF INSECTS ON CABBAGE 
5% DDT DUST is highly effective against flea beetles, cabbage worms 
and loopers on cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. A few applications 
will protect them all season. DDT should not be used within 30 days 
of harvest, and Rotenone is a good safe insecticide to use thereafter. 
It is also very good on broccoli and cauliflower, and may be used as 
a dust or spray. See page 82.
