CABBAGE
1 oz. for 2,000 plants: % lb. per acre.
CULTURE. — The best results are obtained from a well-
drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be
sown about September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted
to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open
ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the
seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plant-
ings later of course according to variety and time crop is
wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet
apart and 18 inches apart in the rows.
If it is not especially desired to have early cabbage the
seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4
weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant
in May; these will mature in July and August. The later
varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July
to rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these
will mature from September to November.
