and heavily manured, or made rich with 5-10-5 fertilizer at the rate of 25 pounds per 100 yards. 
For an early spring crop, sow 14 inch deep in a gentle hotbed in February in rows 6 inches apart, 
and transplant when weather conditions are suitable. The seed may also be sown in beds out- 
doors in April, and transplanted when the plants are large enough. For fall crop, the seed is 
sown in July, and while it may be sown in beds, the usual method is to drill the seed where the 
Cabbage is to be grown, using 2 pounds to the acre and thinning the plants 18 to 24 inches in 
the row. In the vicinity of Norfolk, the early spring crop of Wakefield Cabbage is sown outdoors 
in beds in late September, and the plants set in the field the last of November or early in De- 
cember. The small or early types are sown in rows 3 feet apart, leaving 15 to 18 inches between 
the plants. The large or late types are sown in rows 31% feet apart, leaving 18 to 24 inches be- 
; tween the plants. After the plants are set out, they should be frequently cultivated, drawing the
