CABBAGE Col repello, Sp. KoJd, Kraut, Ger. Sow one ounce for 3,000 to 4,000 plants, 4 ounces for one acre CULTURE.—For plants of the earliest sorts sow seed in January or February under glass, and prick out in flats or frames about 2 inches apart each way. Transplant to open ground as soon in spring as the land can be properly prepared. A rich, warm fibrous loam is best. Have the plants in the rows 20 to 24 inches apart, and rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough cultivation and irrigate in dry weather if practicable. Protect against the ravages of cutworm, maggot and green worm. A little nitrate of soda applied around the plant is of great benefit. Potash applications, such as wood ashes or muriate, may also do much good. For late Cabbage plants, sow seeds in drills in open ground during April and May, and transplant in June and July, giving the plants more room than allowed for earliest Cabbages. Dusting with tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soapsuds, especially Whale Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attacking plants of the Cabbage.

This variety, maturing so soon after the pointed head sorts, is extremely valuable for growing as a second crop, and as it is suited to all sections it is very largely grown.
