CrxTUBE.—An ounce icill produce about 2,500 plants: a half pound icill give enough plants for an acre. For early cabbage sow last of September, and when large enough trans- plant in rows two feet apart. When a supply of plants has not been secured in the fall, sow in a cold frame in December, or early in January, or in a gentle hot-bed the last of February, giving plenty of air to harden the plants. For middle crop sowing may be made in March and until middle of April: and for winter sow Flat Dutch, Drumhead and Savoys from 15th of May to last of June; transplant in July and August, giving plenty of room, say three feet apart each way, setting the plants in the ground up to the first half. It is useless to attempt the growth of cabbage without deep and thorough plowing or spading and an abundance of rich, well-decomposed manure or other suitable fertilizers. Frequent hoeings and stirrings of the soil are essential, and if done while the dew is on the plants, great benefit will be derived. Each time the ground is worked it should be drawn up a little more around the stem until the head begins to form, when one final thorough cultivation is to be given. The disposition which some varieties have to burst soon after maturity can often be checked by bending the cabbage to one side so as to loosen the roots. This can easily be done by hand in the family garden. Many successful gardeners grow cabbage without transplanting, sowing the seed thinly in drills or in lulls and afterwards thinning to the proper distance in the row. or to one plant in the hill.
