Cabbage 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Five to eight ounces of 
seed will produce enough plants for an acre. Two to three 
pounds will be needed for direct seeding. For early Cab- 
bage sow in hotbeds in January or February. Transplant 
as early as possible to the open ground spacing about two 
feet apart each way. For late Cabbage, sow in open ground 
in May and transplant about July first in rows 22 feet 
apart. Thin plants in the rows to 15-18 inches apart. 
In fertilizing we recommend 800-1000 pounds per acre of 
a complete commercial fertilizer broadcast or 500-800 
pounds side-dressed. In the home garden broadcast 30-40 
pounds per 1000 square feet of complete commercial fertil- 
izer. 
Most insects on Cabbage and related crops can be con- 
trolled by dusting with rotenone; aphids with nicotine sul- 
phate or Evergreen Garden Spray. Aphids are most easily 
killed when the temperature is at least 70° F.
