CULTURE OF CABBAGE.
One oz. will produce about 250U planU ; quantity to transplant for 1 acre 2-4 lb.
For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds ; put out when the plants are strong enough
into other hot-beds; or sow in cold frames in March; transplant when danger from killing frosts is passed to
the open ground, in rows, 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. For a succession sow in the open ground the
last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in shallow drills,
3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows, 2\ feet apart, and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds
best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed The late plants are subject to attacks of
the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. To preserve the plant sprinkle
them with wood-ashes, air-slack lime, plaster, slug-shot or tobacco-dust early in the morning while the plants
are wet with dew.
