GRAND RAPIDS GROWERS, Inc., Grand Rapids, Michigan y 
Cabbage 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Three ounces of seed will 
plant an acre of early and five ounces an acre of 
late Cabbage. For early Cabbage sow in hotbeds in 
January or February. Transplant as early as possible to the 
open ground about two feet apart each way. For late Cab- 
bage, sow in open ground in May and transplant about July 
first in rows 2/2 feet each way. 
In fertilizing, we recommend hen manure at the rate of 
one handful to three feet in the furrow. Be careful that 
roots do not come in direct contact with the manure.
