CABBAGE. fiow=£oM. One ounce of seed produces about 3,000 plants. Early, medium, and later cabbage all thrive upon similar soils. The soil along our seashores is peculiarly adapted to their growth, as in such localities they have been grown lor several consecu- tive years upon the same land, without injury from ''club-root" while, a few miles inland, club-root almost invariably appears where cabbages are grown two years in succession. It is always perfectlv safe, however, to select either a piece of strong-sward, or, if more convenient, land that has not borne crops o;' cabbage or turnips for two or three years previously. Sward-land should be ploughed in the fall, and again cross-ploughed in early spring, after a heavy dressing of strong manure; high cultivation is absolutely necessary. In this vicinity the larger portion of the early varieties are grown from seed sown in hot-beds in February or March, only moderate bottom-heat being required. Transplant into other frames, without much, if any, bottom-heat, as soon as the plants show the fourth leaf, setting them in the earth to make them stocky. In April, or as soon as the ground can be easily worked, set out in rows three feet apart, and about eighteen inches between the plants. The smaller varieties may be grown a little closer. The ground should be thoroughly stirred with cultivator and hoe every week, till the plants cover the ground. Cold-frame plants are often used for early crops : such plants are obtained by sowing the seed about the middle of September and later transplanting into cold-frames, where they are wintered over. These plant> are desirable on account of their hardiness, and are less liable to become stunted when set in the open
