Cabbage may be grown in all parts of the United States and spe- 
cial directions regarding the time and methods of planting appli- 
cable to all localities cannot be given. In general north of the 40th 
parallel the early sorts should be sown very early in hotbeds, hard- 
ening off gradually by exposing them to the night air and trans- 
planting as early as hard freezing weather is over, setting 18 to 36 
inches apart, according to the size and variety. South of the 40th 
parallel sow about the middle of September or later, according to 
the latitude, transplanting to cold frames if necessary to keep 
through the winter and setting in open ground as early as possible 
in the spring. It is important that the plants should not be shaded 
or crowded in the seed bed or they will run up weak and slender 
and will not stand transplanting well. 
See pages 6 and 7 for information regarding the building and 
maintaining of hotbeds. 
Cabbage should be hoed or cultivated every week, throwing up a 
little earth to the plants until they begin to head when they should 
be thoroughly cultivated and left to mature. Loosening of the roots 
will sometimes retard the bursting of the full grown heads. Use 
DDT or Marlate for control of worms and nicotine dust for killing 
Aphis. 
Stand the plants upright in a cool cellar with roots in the sand 
or store in pits or trenches, roots up. If pitted, cover with a layer 
of straw; then with soil. Thickness of the cover will depend on 
weather conditions. The pits should be in a well-drained soil and 
some ventilation given through the soil covering to the straw by 
means of a pipe or tile.
