Early Summer Cabbage SUPERIOR CABBAGE SEED. Extra Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. Cabbage is one of the gardener's most important crops, the value of which depends as largely upon the quality of the seed used as upon soil, climate and culture. They are usually sown early in spring in hotbeds, and later in the open ground for main and late crops. Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about February 15 will give plants large enough to transplant into hotbeds about March 10. Set them 2 or 3 inches apart each way, and as soon as they become well estab- lished remove the glass for part of the day. to harden them for final transplanting into the open ground, increasing the exposure daily until April 10 or 20, when the final trans- planting may be made. Plants for this early crop need not stand farther apart than 1% x2 feet. For late crops, sow seeds in April or May. and transplant in July, setting the plants in the ground up to the first leaf, and 2x3 feet apart. It is important that the plants should not stand thick in the seed-bed, as this would induce weak, slender plants. To insure large, solid heads of Cabbage, the soil must be plowed deep and made very rich. The plants need thorough cultivation and the in- sects which molest them should be kept in check with remedies which seem most efficacious in the locality. Crops of Cabbage should not be grown for a number of years on the same ground, on account of club root. -CX PR ESS. The earliest Cabbage in cultivation; not so large as the Wakefield, how- ' ever.
